Chemical Engineers Move Society Forward
Using advanced molecular engineering strategies, we are driving innovation in fields as varied and as important to society as solar energy and battery technologies, natural gas to chemical conversions, water purification, pollutant remediation, tissue engineering and pharmaceutical processing and drug delivery.
Meeting goals for sustainable energy, clean water and better health
Drawing on expertise in areas like catalysis, electrochemical systems, transport properties of biological systems and polymers for membranes and biomaterials, our faculty bridge the gaps between molecular-level interactions and real-world applications.

Our Student Culture
UVA Chemical Engineering students are not only taught to think like professional engineers, they join a vibrant and highly collaborative department culture. Throughout their years in the program, students learn clear communication, creativity and problem-solving skills.
This year was the first CHE: The Challenge, providing students with both physical and mental challenges that showcased the importance of teamwork, communication and on-the-fly strategic thinking.
