(801) 422-4325 The chemical engineering degree program is open
to all students. Chemical engineering is the application of
chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, computer skills, and
economics to designing, developing, and implementing chemical
processes that convert raw materials into more useful, valuable
products. Engineering skills are required for design, testing,
scale-up, operation, control, and optimization. Applications
range in size from the molecular level to large chemical
production facilities with objectives ranging from economic
performance to protection of the environment and the safety of
workers and consumers. Chemical engineers are engaged in
developing and producting a diverse range of products from raw
materials to commodity and specialty chemicals. These products
include high-performance materials needed for aerospace,
automotive, biomedical, electronic, enviro
