Course Description

What do Diet Coke, solar panels, and synthetic organs have in common? They are all things that a chemical engineer can work on improving! Whether it's making batteries more efficient to electrify the nation, designing instruments for space exploration, or creating new, vegan products for skin care, chemical engineers are influential in all aspects of society. Ever wonder what's inside a vanadium flow battery? Have you heard of using gene therapy to cure cancer? Do you wish you knew a little more about microrobots that are used for water purification?

This course gives you a taste of everyday science in your life and shows you how chemical engineers are working towards solving the prevalent issues of the world. You'll become more knowledgeable about what goes into objects and processes you might normally overlook. We will show you what engineering hurdles the world faces today along with how you can get involved. Hopefully, you'll finish this course marveling at the recent advances of engineering and inspired to become an engineer!
