Why Chemical Engineering?

Chemical Engineering brings together math, chemistry, physics, biology and engineering to build the world around us.

“Chemical engineering is one of the broadest backgrounds one can have. It can enable you to work in so many areas – nanotechnology, materials, energy, medicine, and many others. And it can enable you to discover and invent things that can change the world.” 

MAKING A BETTER WORLD

From water de-salination to the development of sustainable fuels, chemical engineers use their problem-solving skills to address real-world needs.   

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

Chemical engineers use their skills to become entrepreneurs, practitioners, and managers in various fields, ranging from energy to biotech, patent law to microbrewing; one Course X alumnus is even an astronaut.
