Chemical engineering is built on a strong foundation of core topics that combine science, engineering, and problem-solving. To succeed in study, industry, and innovation, you need mastery of these areas: Material and Energy Balances for analyzing processes, Thermodynamics for understanding energy and equilibrium, and Fluid Mechanics for fluid flow in pipelines and reactors. Heat and Mass Transfer teaches how energy and matter move, while Chemical Reaction Engineering focuses on reactor design and kinetics. Process Control ensures safe, stable operations, and Process Design & Simulation integrates everything into real systems. Knowledge of Materials Science, Separation Processes, and Biochemical Engineering further strengthens your ability to innovate.
