Chemical engineering students begin their bachelor’s degree with a broad base of chemistry, physics and mathematics to acquire engineering design tools. Students are educated to think critically about engineering design problems while considering the fundamentals of engineering and science to apply their skills in many industrial areas. Specializations are available in pre-med, business, refining, materials and environmental areas. Graduates work in a broad range of fields including alternative energy, biotechnology, chemicals, environmental engineering, materials, natural gas and petroleum. The TU chemical engineering experimental facilities and teaching laboratories are built around the industrial models of process control equipment and introduce the practical scenarios of professional engineering and graduate school settings.
