Our faculty are renowned experts in their fields—and thanks to small classes and team opportunities for research, you’ll get to know and work closely with many of them.

Among their broad research interests are neurochemistry, green chemistry, biodefense, biogenic waste, energy transport and the chemistry of vision. Their research is funded by organizations such as the National Science Foundation, the American Heart Association, the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Dive deeper into fast-growing engineering specialties, such as nanotechnology, or add a minor from a related discipline, such as physics, computer science or sustainability. Technical electives allow you to specialize in unique career-track subfields, such as biochemical engineering, systems engineering, nuclear technology and energy engineering, helping you to stand out to future employers.

Our chemical engineering B.S. was built with collaboration in mind. Not only will you learn and experiment with classmates throughout your time at Florida Tech, but you’ll embark on a team-based design project during your senior year.

You'll do most of this learning, researching and collaborating in the F.W. Olin Engineering Complex, a multistory, state-of-the-art building with classrooms, conference rooms, a multimedia auditorium and more than two dozen specialized teaching and research labs.

Find educational, social and professional development opportunities through our campus chapters of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) or the American Chemical Society Student Affiliates. Florida Tech is also home to engineering-related honor societies, such as Tau Beta Pi and Theta Tau.

Beyond clubs related to your major, you’ll find more than 200 other student-run organizations, a steady stream of campus events and lots to explore nearby in our corner of the Sunshine State, from the Atlantic Ocean to world-famous Orlando theme parks.

Continually adapting to meet marketplace and societal needs, our program benefits from expert insight from an industry advisory board. This group of scholars and practitioners helps keep our curriculum relevant and real-world-ready—and also connects students with chemical engineering internships and job opportunities.

Living in Florida’s “High-Tech Corridor” and the Space Coast, you’ll find plenty of immersive learning experiences nearby—and at tech hubs around the country. Our students find chemical engineering internships with organizations such as NASA, Campbell Soup Co., Collins Aerospace, Tesla and Helicon Chemical Co., as well as at research universities around the world.
