Student Life

The high caliber of both our undergraduate and graduate student body is a source of pride for Penn's Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and an attractive feature for prospective students. Active graduate and undergraduate student associations coordinate both social, academic, and professional events.

ChEGA ()
Penn's Chemical Engineering Graduate Association (ChEGA) represents the academic and social interests of CBE graduate students. Each Spring, it organizes weekly seminars presented by graduate students in the department. It also plans holiday parties, happy hours, and other social events. In addition, ChEGA serves an important role in providing student input to departmental policies and assists the department in hosting weekends for prospective graduate students.

AIChE (http://dolphin.upenn.edu/~aiche/index.htm)
Penn's AIChE Student Chapter organizes events to expand undergraduate student knowledge of what exactly chemical engineers do in their professional careers. The group sponsors plant or chemical facility tours, trips to the annual National Student Chapter AIChE conference, career seminars, and various events in which students have the opportunity to converse with the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering faculty outside of the classroom.
