Is chemical engineering right for me?

Chemical engineers work with chemical change and chemical processing. They develop ways to produce chemicals, or design, build, and operate a chemical production plant. They search for new sources of energy or work to clean up the environment. Chemical engineers also play an important role in new technologies such as semiconductor processing and biotechnology or in the development of new materials such as polymers and ceramics.

EXPECTATIONS FOR PENN ENGINEERING STUDENTS

Penn Engineering holds the standard that students who register for employer events plan to attend. No shows reflect poorly and may disincentivize employers from attending future events at our school, as well as impact your ability to meet with company representatives and be considered for opportunities. When you RSVP for an event, please take that commitment seriously. If you have any questions or concerns, please email Employer Relationship Manager Lauren Kemp (laurem@seas.upenn.edu).
