Reactions that matter

Today’s world faces complex problems like pollution, energy use and waste; chemical engineers help solve them. They work on cleaner ways to make products, handle dangerous materials safely and develop new sources of energy.

In this program, you’ll learn how to do the kind of research needed for jobs in labs or industry. You’ll study with professors who are experts in topics like chemical reactions, making paper products, cleaning up waste, nanotechnology and how materials move and mix.

You’ll also get to use high-tech lab tools like atomic microscopes, gas testing machines, and laser equipment to run experiments and test your ideas.
