Chemical engineering is a field that applies fundamental scientific knowledge such as chemistry, physics, and biology to natural phenomena for the benefit of human civilization and industrialization. In particular, it relates to the design, construction, and operation of processes where chemical reactions are the core operation. It provides engineering principles for adjacent disciplines such as industrial chemistry, materials engineering, textile engineering, biological engineering, food engineering, and environmental engineering. It is a field that studies the development, design, operation, and management of chemical, physical, and biological processes that produce various substances necessary for human life from natural resources. In particular, it has recently been characterized as a comprehensive engineering discipline including energy, environment, biochemical engineering, process systems, and processing of polymer and electronic materials. The chemical industry based on chemical engineering is a national key industry and plays a vital role in influencing people's cultural level and living standard.

Educational Goals
Based on the knowledge of basic sciences such as chemistry, physics, and biology, we educate chemical engineers who can flexibly respond to tasks related to the design, construction, and operation of processes chemical reactions are the core operation. We also educate chemical engineers who will be leaders in related disciplines, such as industrial chemistry, materials engineering, textile engineering, biological engineering, food engineering, and environmental engineering, with the following educational objectives.
- 1Cultivating field-oriented problem-solving skills
- 2Cultivating the ability to perform interdisciplinary projects
- 3Cultivating the ability to work in petrochemical, polymer, energy, catalysis, molecular, biochemical, and electronic materials engineering.
