Chemical Engineering Bachelor's Program
Become one of tomorrow’s technological leaders in industrial chemical processes with a chemical engineering bachelor’s degree from Stevens.
The chemical engineering bachelor’s program educates future technological leaders by preparing them for the conception, synthesis, design, testing, scale-up, operation, control and optimization of industrial chemical processes that impact our well-being.
The chemical engineering bachelor’s program provides a foundation in chemical engineering science and experimentation, the use of modern computational tools such as ASPEN software for the simulation of chemical reactors and separators, and design and research experience with a faculty member to prepare our students for the chemical engineering practice. A specialized, eight semester design sequence sets this program apart, culminating in the last three semesters with chemical engineering design projects which are both experimental and computational.
The Bachelor of Engineering program in chemical engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET. Enrollment and Graduation Data

What Students Are Saying
There are a lot of great opportunities at Stevens where I can be part of truly groundbreaking work. Chemical engineering gave me the most options for what I wanted to do.
That is: sustainable, eco-friendly, green engineering. I’m working with inorganic solar cells now. I worked with organic solar cells in the LEE Lab.
Mike Delaney, Chemical Engineering 2020
Part of [my job] interview involved literally recording my answers on video to some pre-set questions. This is part of their usual hiring process.
I also did a more or less conventional video interview. My Stevens education really helped me there. It was a different kind of challenge, but I solved it.
Christina Trinidad, Chemical Engineering 2021
I was often in Adeniyi Lawal’s office, asking him again and again if I can really handle this.
He always pushes me to do better. That's what Stevens does.
