- B.Eng in Chemical Engineering at the Auburn University is a 4 year, 128-credit program.
- It is an on-campus program offered on a full-time basis.
- Chemical engineers traditionally have participated in many decisions crucial to the preservation and improvement of society, including energy, fuel, commodity chemical and food production, resource management, and the design of necessary pollution control measures.
- Emerging new areas such as biotechnology, space technology, nanofabrication technology, semiconductor devices, and modern construction materials also utilize the unique capabilities of chemical engineers. Many technologies to improve public health depend significantly on chemical engineering such as biomaterials, biomedical devices, medical diagnostics, the chemical design and synthesis of drugs, the genetic engineering of therapeutic materials, drug delivery systems, and medical imaging technology.
- Chemical engineering plays an essential role in important environmental technologies such as atmospheric chemistry, product life cycle analysis, bioremediation, environmental risk, and impact analysis, environmentally friendly manufacturing technology and products, separation and conversion technologies for waste reduction, and the cleanup of contaminated sites.
- The instructional mission of the department is to provide its chemical engineering graduates with the tools, skills, and competencies necessary to understand and apply today's technologies and, through life-long learning, successfully develop and employ tomorrow's technologies.
