The Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering at the University of Kentucky was established in 1995 through the merger of the Department of Chemical Engineering and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering.
Faculty members in the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering have forged a highly-collaborative environment for research and education.
The breadth and flexibility of chemical engineering enables graduates to work on some of the most exciting and demanding challenges presented by areas as diverse as energy generation and sustainability; environmental protection; medicine and biotechnology; transportation and housing!
