Department of Chemical Engineering
Chemical engineers are regarded as the most versatile of all engineers. Their rigorous education in chemical and physical fundamentals, in economics, in mathematics, and in systems analysis uniquely qualifies them to seek solutions to problems which affect the future of our civilization. Advancement in the field can move along both the technical and managerial paths, and a chemical engineering education is an excellent basis for other careers -- law, medicine, information technology, finance, teaching, politics, or other branches of engineering.
