CHEMICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING

(CHEE)

Chemical engineers apply basic principles of chemistry, physics and mathematics to the development of safe, environmentally and economically sound processes in which chemical and/or physical changes take place. Environmental engineers apply those same basic principles directly to the prevention and remediation of environmental problems. These curricula prepare students for employment in research, development, design and operations aspects of the chemical, energy, environmental, food, micro-electronics, petroleum, pharmaceutical, plastics and related industries.

The department participates in the Honors Program.


BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

(ABET Accredited)



Chemical engineering is a profession which provides society with materials and energy in a safe and environmentally sound way. It deals with how chemicals are brought together to react, to be separated and purified, mixed, heated, contained and transported. Computers are used as an integral part of making the processes viable and economical.
