Welcome Future Engineering Students!

The Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering (ChBE) at Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, Illinois, founded in 1901, stems from one of the nation’s oldest chemical engineering departments.

Our present department includes 24 full-time faculty members who bring in an annual average of $2 million in research funds to support their work in an array of ChBE- related fields. Chemical & Engineering News ranked the department in the top 20 programs in the nation for three consecutive years (1996 to1999) based on federal support for research.

If you plan to study chemical or environmental engineering, you should strongly consider IIT. Take the time to learn more about our undergraduate program and graduate programs.

What sets our department apart from other chemical engineering programs:

• We cover chemical engineering broadly, and in great depth. You will find something that fits your interests and ambitions. Faculty members conduct numerous projects in the department’s core areas of research competency:

  • Biological, biochemical and biomedical engineering 

  • Computational fluid dynamics and fluidization

  • Crystallization and particulate technology

  • Energy, sustainability and renewable resources

  • Food processing and safety

  • Fuel cells and batteries

  • Interfacial science

  • Multiphase flow

  • Polymer science and engineering

  • Waste remediation wastewater treatment and water resources

• IIT gives you the opportunity to collaborate with students and researchers in many fields through the Interprofessional Projects Program. You can also choose from electives and specialties in areas such as the social sciences and humanities, design, architecture and business.

• The people at IIT make the difference. Our department offers a distinguished faculty, a large supporting staff, numerous visiting researchers, and a superb student body. IIT is made up of people who are accomplished, hard-working, committed to their profession.
