What is Chemical Engineering?

The field of chemical engineering is concerned with problems that are chemical in nature. These problems are diverse and range from the refinement of crude oil to the processing of prepared foods, and from the manufacturing of integrated circuits to the scale-up of pharmaceutical production.
 

What are the career opportunities?

Chemical engineering graduates can look forward to rewarding and challenging careers in a wide range of industries, such as pharmaceutical, plastics, petroleum, agricultural and food. Within these industries, chemical engineers are employed as process engineers, researchers, sales engineers, and control and design engineers, just to name a few.
 

What areas of specialization are available?

Tri-State University provides a very general degree in chemical engineering so that students can apply their knowledge to any of the industries that employ chemical engineers. However, Tri-State does provide flexibility in the curriculum by offering elective courses in plastics and polymers, bioengineering, and environmental engineering.
