Chemical Engineering (Faculty of Engineering)


Overview

Chemical engineers design the processes and systems required to scale something a chemist produces in the lab (like plastics, pharmaceuticals and chemicals) into mass manufacturable products.

Studying chemical engineering at À¦°óSMÉçÇø will prepare you to design, run, model and optimize all kinds of systems — these can range from production and manufacturing systems, to corporate systems, economic systems, and even weather, population or global systems.

We need to produce things faster, cleaner and in a smarter way in order to sustain our growing population and the increasing demand on our world's natural resources. Chemical engineers consult with many different industries to address this issue.

Student experience

The Chemical Engineering Student Society (ChESS) at À¦°óSMÉçÇø is an active undergraduate group that shares resources and internship opportunities with students.

You can join the Rocket Team to build a rocket for annual competitions, or get involved with CHEM-E, a multidisciplinary team that builds a shoebox-sized car powered and stopped by chemical reactions.

We also have groups for engineering students to network and collaborate with other students interested in sustainability and business.
