UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM

If you have a love for math, physics, and chemistry; a desire to create and build things; and a willingness to work with other people, then chemical engineering may be for you. The Chemical Engineering B.S. degree is one of the most challenging and rewarding degree programs available at Michigan Tech, and has an outstanding track record of educating world class engineers for careers in engineering, dentistry, law, and medicine.

Our facilities, including the Process Simulation and Control Center, Brozzo Fundamentals of Chemical Engineering Lab, and the Hazards Laboratory, are state-of-the-art.  Our new BASF and Kimberly-Clark classrooms offer multimedia equipment, videoconferencing, and audiovisual technology.

Our award-winning faculty have published nationally recognized textbooks on safety, environmentally sensitive engineering, and rheology and polymer engineering.

We offer one of the nation’s only technical communication courses specifically designed for Chemical Engineering.  Emphasis is on organization, support, coherence, usefulness, ethics, and professionalism.

Our students enjoy study abroad opportunities around the world, including Europe, Asia, Australia, and South America.

Our strong internship and cooperative education programs can give you a thorough understanding of engineering practices in industry while you are still a student.

Our graduates are recruiting by regional, national, and global corporations, with a placement rate over 90 percent.

Chemical Engineers earn more than all other engineering professionals.  The average starting salary in chemical engineering is consistently among the highest in the nation.

We offer minors in four rapidly expanding areas: Bioprocess Engineering,  Hydrogen Technology, Mineral Processing, and Polymer Science and Engineering.

Our faculty advise two interdisciplinary Enterprise groups:  Alternative Fuels Group and Consumer Product Manufacturing.
