Florida Institute of Technology

Chemical engineering is the study and application of chemical principles to industrial processes. Chemical engineering students build a strong foundation in mathematics, chemistry, and the fundamentals of engineering.Whether you want to discover alternative sources of energy, develop new methods of food production, or engineer the next medical breakthrough, a chemical engineering degree from Florida Tech develops a strong background in modern chemical dynamics.New technical electives allow you to specialize in unique career-track subfields such as biochemical engineering, systems engineering, nuclear technology, and energy engineering, making you a hot prospect in the eyes of future employers.Our chemical engineering degree program is dynamic and focused. Classes are small, allowing students an opportunity to work on research projects with faculty in the areas of chemical engineering, chemistry, and the biological sciences. Seniors also complete a design project in collaboration with a team of their peers to design, develop, prototype, and present a complex chemical plant.The program’s reputation and proximity to a variety of high-tech companies means you can also expect to find a great internship and build valuable on-the-job experience. These learning opportunities also provide an expanded professional network, and often lead to a pre-graduation job offer.
