Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering

University of Akron

The University of Akron’s chemical engineering program teaches you how to apply math, science and engineering principles to solve real-world problems. You’ll learn the fundamentals of transport phenomena, thermodynamics and chemical reaction kinetics, and how to use them to turn raw materials into useful products that improve everyday life. Through lab courses and elective options in design or research, you’ll gain hands-on experience with emerging technologies. Exciting work happens in areas like advanced materials, environmental engineering, sustainable energy, catalysis, biochemical engineering, nanomaterials, data science, molecular simulations and biosensing. The BS in Chemical Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Chemical, Biochemical, Biomolecular and Similarly Named Engineering Programs. The program has specific educational objectives and student outcomes that prepare graduates to enter the professional practice of engineering.
