About CHEE

Well-Balanced and Forward-Thinking

The UA Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering covers major academic and research areas while providing personalized attention.

From creative classrooms that keep all students on track to interdisciplinary research – with strengths in water treatment, hazardous waste remediation, environmentally safe semiconductors and air quality monitoring – CHEE programs are forward thinking and well balanced. 

The CHEE approach pays off: students who rise to the challenge of rigorous academics, faculty and staff who care each and every day, outreach that makes a difference for people near and far, and research that knows no bounds.
