Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering is a broad area of engineering that turns raw materials into products using the knowledge of chemistry, biology and physics.

The traditional discipline, which includes petrochemicals, plastics, food production, and drugs, has now been broadened to include the new fields of nanotechnology, molecular biology, the environment, and information technology. Chemical and biomolecular engineers design both products and processes, manage operations of processes and research the solutions to environmental problems.

Areas of study in the Chemical Engineering degree include:

• biochemical engineering
• biotechnology engineering
• energy and environment
• green product and process design
• minerals processing
• process systems engineering
• sustainability
