BS Chemical and Biochemical Engineering

As a chemical engineer, you may study ways in which pure water can be obtained from the sea; design processes to provide fertilizers, rubber, fibers, and fuels; or team up with other engineers and scientists in biomedical engineering to develop specialized polymeric materials for use in artificial arms, legs and other human organs. You may be instrumental in finding supplemental food sources for man, such as protein from petroleum, wood, or the sea. You might help develop new processes for the application of biochemistry, energy conservation, or environmental control, such as reducing undesirable substances in the air. Or, you might have a hand in the creation of strong lightweight materials to be used in aircraft construction. Your opportunities will be unlimited.
