The University of Florida has over 100 years of history in Chemical Engineering education. Chemical Engineering was first offered at UF in 1916 (only eight years after AIChE was founded nationally), and in 1920 the first graduate came down the pipeline. Our alumni contribute to important industrial sectors and are entrepreneurs that drive the global economy.
