Like the field of chemical engineering itself, our department’s work transcends disciplinary lines. Our students, faculty, and alumni work with colleagues across the academic and engineering spectrum in fields such as biotechnology, polymers, nanotechnology, energy and environmentally responsive processes, and biomanufacturing.  Our students learn by doing in cutting-edge labs and facilities. They work hand-in-hand with industry and government partners to get things done, from sponsored research that advances our understanding of the world to senior design projects that tackle real-life problems. When they graduate, our students are ready for the next step: roughly 85% go into the chemical or pharmaceutical industries, and 15% pursue graduate or professional studies.

Department Highlights:

• Undergraduate students have the option to pursue concentrations within the curriculum, including Biomolecular, Biomanufacturing, Nanoscience, and Sustainable Engineering, Energy, and the Environment. We also offer a departmental Honors Program.
• The American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) student chapter has been consistently recognized as one of several Outstanding Chapters for the last 25 years.
• Almost 20% of NCSU CHE students have a university, college, or departmental scholarship.
• Many internship and co-op opportunities are available, with almost 15% of our students completing a co-op.
