Chemical Engineering (ChemE) applies fundamental principles in physics, math, chemistry, and biology to chemical and biochemical processes.  It offers areas of concentration in bioengineering and biotechnology, environmental technology, materials and product engineering, optimization, dynamics and information technology, entrepreneurship and management and engineering science for new technologies. 

ChemE graduates have become leaders in the fields of medicine, pharmaceuticals, microelectronics processing, polymer science, composites manufacturing, consumer products, technical management, environmental science, and the petrochemical industry.  Each year several ChemE students publish their senior thesis findings in research journals. Approximately half of ChemE graduates go into industry, working for companies such as Air Products, Bristol Myers Squibb, DuPont, ExxonMobil, IBM, Intel, Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble, and Merck. About a quarter students go to top graduate schools, and a quarter go on to medical, law, or business school.
