BA/BS in Chemical Engineering

Kettering University's Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering trains students to plan and refine chemical operations that turn raw inputs into new products. Graduates are prepared for careers spanning biotechnology, food and packaging, and alternative energy, among other industries. Co-op placements let students join working engineering teams early in their studies, and undergraduates can also take part in faculty research on topics like thin-film coatings, sustainable energy processes and recyclable polymers. Core coursework covers fluid dynamics, heat transfer, chemical reactors and separation systems, while advanced electives explore polymer science and battery systems. A capstone design course gives students open-ended problems that draw together everything learned in earlier courses. Interested applicants can contact the department or the undergraduate admissions office for program details and next steps.
