The chemical engineering program offered by the Department of Chemical Engineering,Tsinghua University is to prepare students to master the fundamental sciences including mathematics,physics,chemistry,and biology; establish knowledge and skills in the product design and process synthesis,and the ability to identify,formulate and creatively solve complex engineering problems;promote high level of physical fitness and ethical standard;proactively respond to the contemporary issues and exercise leadership in industry,academia and government on technological,economic and social issues. 120 、undergraduate students are enrolled in the department each year, and a total of more than 8900 students have graduated so far.

Students fulfill the credit requirements by completing courses and engaging in industrial practices. The core courses of the chemical engineering program are: Principles of Chemical Engineering, Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics,Transport Phenomena, Reaction Engineering Fundamentals, Chemical Engineering Design, Process Systems Engineering Fundamentals, and Biochemical Engineering Fundamentals. The core courses of the polymer science and engineering program are: Polymer Physics, Polymer Chemistry, Polymer Processing, Analysis of Polymers, and Chemical Engineering Fundamentals. In addition, laboratory skills and research and engineering experience are emphasized. Students are required to take laboratory courses such as physics lab, chemistry lab, and chemical engineering lab. Students gain engineering experience through summer internships. They are also encouraged to engage in the Student Research Training Program. A half year research thesis project is required of each undergraduate student.
