Chemical engineering is the study and application of chemical principles to industrial processes. Chemical engineering students build a strong foundation in mathematics, chemistry and the fundamentals of engineering. When you choose Florida Tech for a chemical engineering degree, you're choosing a university that is listed among the Fiske Guide's "Engineering/Top Technical Institutes" and Parade Magazine's College A-List in Engineering. Whether you want to discover alternative sources of energy, develop new methods of food production, or engineer the next medical breakthrough, a chemical engineering degree from Florida Tech develops a strong background in modern chemical dynamics.

Students who graduate with a degree in chemical engineering are likely to find careers focused on the processes that turn raw materials into valuable products. Using the principles of chemistry, biology and physics, careers in chemical engineering typically involve solving problems related to the production or use of chemicals, fuel, drugs, food, and many other products. This might also involve the design of processes and equipment for manufacturing, or test methods of manufacturing products.
