Congratulations class of 2019!! Now that you’re here, get ready to learn about distillation, energy balances, process controls and well, I guess a little bit of chemistry mixed in there. Along with first year comes preparing a resume, many hours spent slaving over Excel and TONS OF FUN!!!
Once you’re through most of your first year, you’ll learn more about separation processes and bioprocess engineering which are studied by chemists and scaled up by future engineers like you! Most of your first year courses are fairly general, Chemistry, Linear Algebra, Calculus, and Physics with a lot of concepts being review of material covered in high school. Don’t be afraid to go to help sessions, ask a classmate or join other sections of the core classes for a fresh perspective!
In addition to the Engineering Society, the Chemical Engineering Student Society (UW CESS) also put on fun events to take your mind off things. Now is the time to find a good work-life balance before the going gets tough!
