Student Organizations
Chemical engineering students benefit from opportunities to join active and diverse student organizations.
The CBE department hosts a student chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE). AIChE publishes meeting information through their listserv and posters near the student lounge; new members are always welcome to attend.
