BYU Chemical Engineering Undergraduate Program
Chemical Engineering deals with the development and application of manufacturing processes in which
chemical and physical changes of materials are involved. Chemical engineers research and develop
new methods to manage energy resources as well as commercial consumer products. They design
reliable, cost effective manufacturing plants and implement pollution control systems. As problem
solvers, chemical engineers work on the leading edge of technology researching and developing the
ideas of today for the designs, systems, and products of tomorrow.
Areas of instruction include heat transfer, fluid dynamics, chemical reaction kinetics, thermodynamics, separation operations, materials science, process control, and plant design. In addition, chemical engineering places strong emphasis on computer skills. The BS curriculum is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET) and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers.
BYU Chemical Engineering
BYU offers a great deal for the developement of Chemical Engineers. The links to the left give a brief description of the Chemical Engineering Undergraduate Program at Brigham Young University. These links describe the standards and expectations of BYU and how they accomplish these aspects of education.
Chemical Engineering Students
While progressing closer to graduation every student will make changes in their personal interests and goals. The final information to the left will help the ChemE student plan their schedule and keep up on current class events. The information includes: class information (i.e. solutions, HW hints, syllabi), links to tutorials, and job and scholarship opportunities.
Transfer Students
Provision has been made so that any qualified student transferring from another university, junior college, college, or department who has completed the equivalent of the first two years of the academic program can complete the B.S. degree requirements in another two years. Contact the department as quickly possible so that we can accommodate variations with minimum loss of time.
