The department offers the degree program of chemical engineering, accredited by the
Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org. Students can double major or structure coursework to satisfy medical school entrance
requirements.
Nearly all engineering courses are taught by faculty who are active in research. Students
can participate in laboratory or field research, and many are active in professional
society student chapters and clubs, including the American Institute of Chemical Engineers
(AIChE) and the UCI student chapter of the American Nuclear Society. Our goal is to
graduate students who are prepared for a career as practicing engineers or for continuing
their education in graduate school at a research university.
