Department of Chemical Engineering 

About


Chemical engineers have a critical role to play in developing engineering solutions to overcome society’s greatest and most complex challenges. They develop processes that transform raw materials into useful chemicals that enhance our quality of life. In addition to chemicals found in products used by consumers every day, chemical engineers create novel materials such as Nano scale Composites, Pharmaceuticals, Plastics, Fibers, Metals, Ceramics, Biotechnology Products, etc.
