AIChE at UW is a student organization comprised of Chemical Engineering undergraduates dedicated to fostering a sense of community within the department. Our mission is to provide team-building activities, academic resources, and opportunities for students to grow both academically and professionally.
This year the University of Washington will be host to the AIChE Pacific Northwest regional student conference. This is an event intended to encourage friendly competition as well as professional camaraderie between the area chemical engineering departments. For more details, please visit the link on the left.
What is Chemical Engineering?
Chemical Engineering is the study of process mechanics. We apply the principles of science, math, and economics to convert raw materials into valuable products. Chemical Engineering is commonly referred to as process engineering. Chemical Engineers typically work in fields related to large scale production. Some examples of these fields are petroleum, biomedical, and chemical production. For more information see links or visit Why Not Chem Eng?
