Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering

Chemical engineers are taught to link chemistry and engineering in order to produce substances or products that improve people's lives. Chemical engineers develop techniques and processes to convert raw materials into products such as plastics, food, pharmaceuticals, petroleum products and other consumer goods while maximizing efficiency and minimizing risk and environmental impact.
