Chemical engineering is a creative and dynamic discipline that involves the transformation of energy and matter into useful resources for society. You will use biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics as you work to convert raw materials and chemicals into more useful forms.
Whether you want to create new materials for biomedical applications or find solutions to clean up the environment, Arizona State University will give you the tools and experience to be successful.
Chemical engineers are often called “universal engineers.” They develop and produce a diverse range of products for aerospace, automotive, biomedical, electronic and military applications.
As a chemical engineer, you can create
- plastics
- petroleum products
- pharmaceuticals
- computer chips
- specialty chemicals
- bioproducts
You might also work to help improve the environment by developing methods to reduce pollution or devising ways to recover usable materials from waste.
At ASU, you will have the opportunity to individualize your experience through research and discovery, cross-discipline exploration, internships and student organizations.
You’ll be prepared to solve real-world, multidisciplinary problems facing society.
