Chemical engineering is about transformation. It's about gaining fundamental knowledge about a substance, then using that knowledge to synthesize a solution to an important medical, mechanical, or societal need. MIT offers the largest chemical engineering program in the nation. Learn how we're transforming lives and changing the world.
