Message from the Chair
Welcome to the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Utah.
Our department has a long tradition of excellence in teaching, research, and service to the community, our profession, and the university. We pride ourselves on preparing students for making a difference in industry, academia, and government, and our alumni represent all these sectors.
In addition, chemical engineers work at many “scales” from nanotechnology to large, refinery unit operations, making it one of the most diverse engineering disciplines. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have regarding our curriculum, research, or what it is to be a chemical engineer.
