Careers Up

Career Placement


The graduate in chemical engineering is particularly versatile. Industrial work may involve production, operation, research, and development. Graduate education in medicine, dentistry, and law, as well as chemical engineering and other engineering and scientific disciplines, are viable alternatives for the more accomplished graduate.

Career Resource Center

The Chemical Engineering Department works closely with the Career Resource Center to ensure that its graduates receive employment upon graduation. Engineering students participate in the career fairs that are held twice annually at the university. Special events are usually organized during these fairs for engineering students. In addition to career fairs, the college and its department maintains direct contact with companies whose executives participate in college activities. These interactions provide the opportunity for relationships with potential employers.

The Career Resource Center can provide help students with resumes, cover letters, on campus recruiting/interviewing, job searches and other needs as requested. Objectives of the CRC to:

  • Help students learn how to make personally satisfying decisions about careers and majors
  • Help students obtain career-related experience during college -- through co-op or internships -- that enhances the academic experience and/or assists in exploring career options
  • Help students seek post-graduation career-related employment and/or consider graduate or professional school options
  • Help employers meet their human resource needs and identify  resources that complement their college relations efforts

 All students must be registered in JobTrak in order to interview. CRC can help students understand the InterviewTrak system and get registered.
