Chemical Engineering at Michigan State University is an ABET-accredited engineering program.

The undergraduate program in chemical engineering builds a strong foundation for the professional development of its students and prepares them to meet the technological challenges of the future. With a bachelor’s degree, the graduates are well equipped for a wide variety of positions as practicing chemical engineers or for graduate studies in engineering and scientific disciplines. The intensive program encourages continued learning and professional development by providing the proper knowledge and stimulation in a setting that promotes personal growth. The program emphasizes its historic, nationally recognized strength in chemical process design, yet draws on the scholarly accomplishments of its faculty to integrate traditional chemical engineering topics with specialized studies in the contemporary fields of materials, bioprocessing, environmental engineering, and food engineering.

The faculty of the chemical engineering program is committed to sharing the responsibility of learning with the students, providing a rigorous academic environment that encourages active learning, high quality student performance, and ethical conduct. While the faculty recognizes that the professional accomplishments of the program graduates stem from the personal aspirations and individual initiative, the program faculty seeks to optimize their opportunities for success and their continued professional growth and development. Through the integration of knowledge and skills acquired in a demanding set of courses, extracurricular experiences, and faculty expertise and scholarship, the Chemical Engineering Program seeks to prepare its graduates:

• to become successful in their chosen career path, whether it be in the practice of chemical engineering, in advanced studies in engineering or science or in other complementary disciplines;

• to assume leadership roles in industry, business and/or their communities;

• to contribute to the economic environment of their communities; and

• to maintain career skills through life-long learning.
