Chemical Engineering

 
Technology has opened new directions in education. Increasingly, chemical engineers are employed in increasingly diverse fields, ranging from waste minimization, process optimization, and environmental clean-up in the environmental industry to new material development in the aerospace, microelectronics, construction, and biomedical industries to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Therefore, to meet these demands, our faculty is actively engaged in research at the forefront of technology, seeking to push the boundaries ever further forward. Our faculty are exploring these current areas of research.
