Student Experience
Chemical and biochemical engineering students are part of a connected community with faculty and researchers.
Gain Real World Experience
Undergraduate students in the Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering find internships and co-ops close to home from among the many pharmaceutical, consumer product, and environmental companies nearby and around the country. Internships and co-ops are a great way to enter the job market before graduation. Students have access to Handshake, a computerized job listing service as a resource and faculty support students in identifying opportunities.
