Welcome to ...
Princeton Chemical Engineering!

Welcome to the world of pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, artificial kidneys, oil refineries, solar panels, clean water, and biocompatible polymers! Chemical engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with the chemical and physical processes used to develop and make these and many other products. Chemical engineers have made major contributions to the technological infrastructure of modern society.

Princeton's Chemical Engineering Department was established in 1930. Over the years, it has earned a position of distinction in both undergraduate and graduate education. Our department is a community of scholars where every member's contributions to the creation and transmission of knowledge in our discipline are valued. Whether you are interested in undergraduate studies, graduate studies, or post-doctoral work, I hope that you will find our web site useful and informative.
