Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering

Students of the chemical engineering program at AIU will develop the knowledge and skills needed to produce, design, transfer and manipulate energy and materials, contributing to the advancement of their society. Chemical engineers apply their specialized understanding of chemical reactions and separations to tackle energy, medical, environmental, and social issues and create new materials on a large scale.

The Chemical Engineering Program is designed to provide students with the ability to:

• apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
• identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
• communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
• recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
• function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
• develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze, and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
• acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

Modern society depends on the contributions of chemical and process engineers. They play a crucial role in resource management, environmental protection, and the implementation of health and safety protocols, all while innovating the processes essential for the creation of desired or necessary products. A Bachelor of Science degree in chemical engineering from AIU provides opportunities in chemical industries, oil and gas (exploration and production), pharmaceuticals, plastics, power generation, water management, waste treatment, consulting, education, food and beverage, healthcare, environmental health and safety, mining and minerals, and paper and packaging.
