Current Students

The Chemical Engineering Department encourages its students to pursue a vibrant college life both in and outside the department's activities. 

Student Societies
Many students are very active in the student chapters of professional societies such as AIChE, ISPE, TAPPI and ANS, as well as the engineering honor societies of Tau Beta Pi, Omega Chi Epsilon and Alpha Nu Sigma.  Students and faculty members attend periodic meetings of the local and national chapters of these associations.
