Please consult the most recent catalog for offical information. The education of a chemical engineer involves a strong foundation in chemistry, physics and mathematics. In addition, knowledge of energy changes and reaction rates involved in chemical reactions is needed. Physical changes of substances undergoing various processes are also emphasized. The chemical engineer deals with the application of these fundamentals to processes carried out on an industrial scale in which matter undergoes changes in chemical composition or physical state.
Emphasis is placed on developing creative as well as analytical ability.
Facts and theories are presented primarily to stimulate further thought and study in all fields of chemical engineering.
