专业简介
化学工程，简称化工，是研究以化学工业为代表以及其他过程工业（例如石油炼制、冶金、食品及印染工业等）生产过程中有关化学过程与物理过程的一般原理和规律，并且应用这些规律来解决过程及装置的开发、设计、操作及改善问题的工程技术学科。目前全球前10强企业中有6家企业涉足化工行业。
中国和美国化学工程差别？
中国化工专业：
本科学习阶段更加重视理论的记忆，但是对于理论的本质不做研究，或者没有机会做研究。比如国内化工学生言必称“三传一反”但是对于三传一反的本质，以及三传一反”（三传一反：热量传递，动量传递，质量传递和化学反应过程）的数学偏微分方程的是不做过多了解的，这会导致无法深刻理解理论。多培养炼油、石油化工及相关化工领域人才。（中国石油大学）属于我国极少数进入世界一流的学科。其中QS世界大学专业排名中，清华大学化工名列全球12。国内目前大约有26000家大中化工企业，提供了约707万就业岗位。
美国化工专业：
本科阶段除了基础课程的学习，更加注重化学基本原理和本质的学习，所以对于理论基础研究的比国内更加深入。美国的化工本科会学习到“三传一反”的数学偏微分方程，也会学习到它们的数学偏微分方程形式一致，基本原理一致，而在中国的化工本科教学中大多不会涉及。
常见学位及要求
Master of Science in Chemical Engineering
时长：1-2年 （28-40学分）
特点：培养学生掌握化学工程，工艺的知识，掌握化学装置用法及设计方法，同时在交叉学科内进行探索、改进、开发和设计新的方案。
Thesis: 学术导向
Non-thesis：职业导向
Master of Engineering in Chemical Engineering
时长：1-2年 （28-40学分）
职业导向，工程导向，关注技术和应用层面，指向就业，更加侧重于实践（南加大ME需要特点：完成MS课程要求且通过工程师考试）
PhD-Chemical Engineering
时长：5年 一般90学分左右
特点：学术研究导向，毕业后academic或industry都可以
USNEWS 给出开设化工专业的学校有110 所左右，其中有专排的90 所，虽然没有化学专业选择多，但是总体也是有相当数量的学校可供选择。绝大多数学校也是有单独的化工专业，少数学校是和生物，生化结合的项目，比如Chemical and Biological Engineering（爱荷华大学）和Chemical and Biochemical Engineering（加州大学尔湾分校）。在开设化工的学校项目中有接近90%都开设硕士学位，接近30%学校只开设硕士，剩余大约10%学校只开设博士学位。这点源于化工有工科的属性，偏应用。
