This program may be started at any campus and is completed at Penn State University Park.
Chemical Engineering is the science devoted to the manipulation of molecular matter and energy. The curriculum provides students with the knowledge and skills that allow chemical engineers to take bench-top processes and turn them into industrial-scale operations. Four options are available: General, Energy and Fuels Engineering, Polymer Engineering, and Bioprocess Engineering. Chemical engineers are usually employed in production, development, research, design, sales, consulting, or teaching. While many chemical engineers work in the chemical and petroleum industries, an increasing number are being employed in electornics, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology or food processing or consulting services. Government agencies and colleges and universities provide additional employment opportunities.
The B.S. in Chemical Engineering is offered by Penn State's College of Engineering.
