Chemical engineers are regarded as the most versatile of all engineers. Concerned with the transformation of raw materials into valuable products by chemical, biochemical or physical processes, they are involved in the conception, design, construction, and operation of industrial plants. They participate in the manufacture of such products as pulp and paper, petrochemicals, fertilizers, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, minerals, plastics and cosmetics. Chemical engineers also play key roles in the growing fields of biotechnology environmental protection and electronic materials processing.

The Department of Chemical Engineering has been an integral part of the development of NJIT as a public research university. Its faculty and students have for many years conducted cutting-edge research in areas as diverse as environmental technology, polymer processing, biotechnology, particulates and nanotechnology. This research effort also leads to the teaching of courses involving current topics. Modern chemical engineering involves extensive use of computers for process simulation and design, for product characterization and for process control. The computer resources and expertise available at NJIT make it an excellent environment for the study of modern chemical engineering.
