Chemical Engineering, BSE

Chemical engineering is a lot more than just chemistry. Mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology, come together to enable chemical engineers to create, develop, and design new technologies and processes for converting raw materials into more useful products, forging a better future for us all. In the Chemical Engineering Program at ASU, students are encouraged to individualize their education through coursework, research and discovery, cross-discipline exploration, internships, and professional society activities. Through this multi-faceted approach, students learn how to design safe, efficient, environmentally-friendly, sustainable and economical processes and products.

Chemical engineers are involved in the production of:

• Petroleum Products
• Plastics and Polymers
• Synthetic Fibers and Coatings
• Pharmaceuticals
• Biomedical Devices
• Semiconductors
• Bio-based Products
• Minerals and Ores
• Food and Agricultural Products
• Environmental Remediation and Protection

With a foundation in chemical engineering, the BSE program encourages students to explore cross-disciplinary research and coursework to prepare for future endeavors like internships, graduate studies, and careers in multiple industries.
