Get in the Lab

You’ll learn the fundamentals of chemical properties and interactions.

See our labs in action

With facilities like these it’s no surprise that we attract some of the brightest and best Chemical Engineering students. In our labs, you'll get a chance to perform experiments with instrumentation not seen by most undergraduates.

  • You’ll get hands-on experience with a 400 MHz Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer in your sophomore year as you unravel molecular structures of organic component and organometallic complexes.
  • You will delve deeper into chemical engineering through hands-on lab experiments in absorption, adsorption, filtration, distillation, reaction engineering, heat exchange and recovery, process controls, transport phenomena, viscosity/rheology and chemisorption.
  • Your senior capstone experience will utilize all of your undergrad knowledge and will focus on plant design.
