Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (ChemBE) is all about using chemistry, biology, math, and physics to solve real-world problems. As a ChemBE major, you’ll learn how to design processes that create everything from life-saving medicines to clean energy solutions. You’ll explore the science behind how things work\u2014and how to engineer them to work better or more efficiently\u2014for a healthier, more sustainable world.<\/p>\n
