Strength in Small Numbers

“The classes are geared toward helping us develop a sense of community, so no one has to go through a difficult major alone.”

Undergraduate research assistant Jayni Hashimoto

Prime Locale for Water Reuse

“Water scarcity in this region has made everyone hyper-aware of water issues and extremely focused on finding ways to sustain their way of life in the desert.”

Alumnus Daniel Serwon, Roux Associates

Beyond Infrastructure

“Most environmental engineering programs are housed in civil engineering departments… Chemical engineers have a proven track record in developing biochemical and other process technologies, which are critical for targeted treatment systems.”

Professor Reyes Sierra

Active Learning at Its Best

“Our students are really successful, amazingly so. My goal is to create a series of tasks and questions that force even the best students to make tough choices.”

UA Distinguished Professor Blowers

Professional Mentoring

“We put a lot of time and energy into professional mentoring; telling students exactly what opportunities are out there for chemists, mathematicians and environmental engineers.”

Department chair Anthony Muscat

Chemical Engineering Is…

“Chemical engineering is the art of changing what’s made in the lab to produce a product that’s going to help hundreds of thousands of people.”

2017 senior and current Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory intern Erica Clevenger

Training for Jobs of the Future

“The very fabric of our nation’s economic and environmental sustainability hinges on a precarious balance of water supply reliability and security in the face of climate change and increasing urbanization.”

Professor Shane Snyder
