Curriculum Enhancements

Chemical Engineering students are encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities to enhance their educational experience, foster professional networks as well as develop communication, social, and leadership skills. Students at the University of Florida have many opportunities to enhance their educational programs through:

• Honorary, professional, service and technical society activities at all department, college and university levels. Visit the Student Activities Center for a list of the more than 450 registered student organizations at UF.
• Minors and certificates that afford traditional and well-accepted ways to gain a significant body of knowledge outside of the major requirements.
• International study programs that provide a vital knowledge of the global environment in which engineers are now working.
  • NURI funded Exchange Program with Yeungnam University
• Resources to prepare for professional schools such as medical, law, and business.
• Research involvement by undergraduate students under the direct supervision of a faculty member is encouraged especially for those students who plan to go to graduate school. 
• A Combined BS/MS Degree Program for qualified students to simultaneously earn both a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering and a Master of Science in Chemical Engineering degree.  
• Fundamentals of Engineering Exam (FE): Chemical engineers are not required to take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam. Although, you must pass the FE examination to pursue a professional license.

The variety and number of student functions available at the University of Florida is so large that it is impossible to participate in all of them.  You will have to make choices as to what are your current interests as well as take advantage opportunities to develop new ones that will optimize your overall educational experience.
