Chemical engineering deals with the application of chemistry, physics and mathematics to the process of converting raw materials or chemicals into more useful or valuable forms. Chemical engineering also involves the design of valuable new materials and chemical products. The BSE offered in the chemical engineering program builds on a broad base of knowledge within the basic and mathematical sciences and engineering, and offers excellent career opportunities. Chemical engineers are engaged in the development and production of a diverse range of products, including high performance materials needed for aerospace, automotive, biomedical, electronic, environmental and military applications. The modern discipline of chemical engineering is intertwined with biology and biomedical engineering. Accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org/.
