School of Engineering

The Chemical Engineering program at Manhattan College was established in 1958. The department offers a strong traditional curriculum leading to a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering degree.

Chemical engineers combine mathematics and advanced chemistry with engineering principles to design, develop and operate industrial processes for the manufacture of a host of products including baked goods, beverages, medicine, cosmetics, gasoline, heating oil, plastics, synthetic fibers, paint, solvents and chemical intermediates. A chemical engineer's training permits the student to work in design and construction, computer simulation, specialty chemicals, industrial gases, food processing, petroleum fractionation, polymers, pollution prevention and remediation, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, or pulp and paper industries.
