Active student members are eligible for annual AIChE scholastic achievement awards and to participate in national scholastic competitions. Each year, over 1,000 student members travel to one of 10 regional student conferences, hosted and organized by a different Student Chapter each year. Each Fall, in connection with AIChE's Annual Meeting, approximately 1,000 students participate in AIChE's Annual Student Conference. Students meet and network with professional engineers at Local Sections and regional student conferences. Chapter activities help students develop professionalism and practice leadership skills as volunteer Chapter organizers and meeting planners.
Students organize educational activities, plant tours and social events for student members.
