Leonard C. Nelson College of Engineering and Sciences Major: Chemical Engineering Why study chemical engineering at WVU Tech? Our chemical engineering program emphasizes design through a two-year sequence of courses, as well as hands-on laboratory experience. The program offers students a comprehensive education, including fundamentals of engineering and science, systems design, problem-solving and analysis skills, coursework in solids/particle processing and communications skills. Students enjoy our small class sizes and high degree of faculty assistance. Students that enjoy mathematics and science, particularly chemistry, tend to enjoy this program. What opportunities are available for graduates? Graduates of this program have accepted positions in manufacturing and process operations, process design, research and development, environmental protection, technical service, management, education, medicine and law. Program graduates have also pursued graduate or professional programs at a variety of prestigious institutions. How does the program work? Students have the opportunity to customize their education by selecting courses in a secondary area of interest to satisfy the 12-credit elective block. Students can also elect to pursue the life sciences emphasis area which allows students to minor in biology.
