Sharpen your focus on the world of chemical engineering. Student teams create 2- to 5-minute videos that explain chemical engineering to the general public and inspire high school students to consider a career in chemical engineering. The winner is announced at the AIChE Annual Student Conference in the fall.

Gain real-world experience as you tackle a practical assignment, created by chemical engineers, that typifies an authentic working situation that chemical engineers face. Winners present their work at the AIChE Annual Student Conference.

Eager to share your research? The Student Paper Competition provides an excellent opportunity to present your technical paper and receive peer feedback. First-place winners from each of the nine regional competitions present their papers during the AIChE Annual Student Conference.

How well do you know your coursework? The ChemE Jeopardy competition draws on standard chemical engineering subject matter to challenge and confound contestants from schools across the country. Games are held at each of the nine regional conferences in the spring. The winning teams from each regional conference go on to compete for the national championship title at the Annual Student Conference.

With 320 posters and 100 judges last year, the Poster Competition is the largest forum for Chemical Engineering undergraduates to present their research activity to a professional community. All key areas of chemical engineering are covered, including: sustainability, catalysis and reaction engineering, computing and process control, environmental aspects of chemical engineering, food, pharmaceutical, bioengineering, fuels, petrochemicals, energy, materials and separations. Don’t miss it.
