About the course

Chemical engineering combines knowledge of chemistry and molecular interactions with the discipline of engineering to address problems at both the small and large scale. Chemical engineers invent new processes, improve existing ones as well as design and operate plants and equipment to transform raw feed stocks into useful products across a wide range of industries including agricultural and food-based products, consumer goods, fine chemicals, fuels and petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, plastics, and more.

　　Chemical engineering students at UK experience an environment where faculty are readily accessible both inside and outside the classroom, and where students have the chance to grow personally and professionally through hands-on research projects, industrial cooperative education and service opportunities. You’ll study a wide range of subjects, including mathematics, chemistry and physics, as well as core engineering topics such as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, separation processes, heat and mass transfer and chemical reactor design. Our electives address numerous specialized areas of chemical engineering and include courses in biotechnology, advanced materials, drug delivery, environmental engineering, fuel science, nanotechnology and polymer processing.
