Chemical and Environmental Engineering Department

The University of Arizona's Chemical and Environmental Engineering (ChEE) program is unique. We offer both undergraduate and graduate degrees. Our undergraduate program participates in the Honors Program.

Our Department is large enough to cover the major academic and research areas, yet small enough for individual attention. Our classes are taught by experts in their fields, and our undergraduate students have many opportunities for research projects with excellent faculty.

Our undergraduate program consists of 300 students, while our graduate program is comprised of 60. We accommodate our students with our 16 dedicated faculty members and 5 staff positions. Among our faculty are one Presidential Young Investigator, and two NSF Young Faculty Career Award winners, to name a few.

Environmental engineering applications are firmly embedded in our undergraduate chemical engineering program.

We are strong participants in the university-wide, NIEHS-sponsored Superfund Basic Research Center (SBRC) for hazardous waste treatment and management. We provide a productive, nurturing environment for our doctoral students, whom we cherish. We are the home of the SRC/SEMATECH Engineering Research Center for Environmentally Benign Semiconductor Manufacturing.
