The American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) is a nonprofit organization providing leadership to the chemical engineering profession. Representing 57,000 members in industry, academia, and government, AIChE provides forums to advance the theory and practice of the profession, upholds high professional standards and ethics, and supports excellence in education. Institute members range from undergraduate students, to entry-level engineers, to chief executive officers of major corporations.

At Yale AIChE, we strive to help students see how a chemical engineering degree can accomplish their dreams and we establish the means to make it happen. Chemical engineers have an impact in essentially everything we do, eat, breath, and touch. They process the food we eat, produce the clothes we wear, purify the drugs we take, isolate the gas we use, manufacture the computers we depend on. Engineers are not limited to the lab but become leaders of finance, medicine, and law. Engineers are in the business of life, helping people live longer and live better lives.

Then why Chemical Engineering at Yale? Chemical Engineering stems from a multidisciplinary field built on a foundation of biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. From the solid foundation of the chemical engineering curriculum, comes great intellectual flexibility that integrates an endless number of contributions that leads to endless possibilities. 

The Yale education integrates the engineering training with a modern liberal arts education. Students benefit from a Yale tradition of the humanities instilling an awareness of the social and political context for their work. At one of the leading research institutions of the world, students may tackle any problem in any field with Professors who are the leaders of their field. But most importantly, the college places students in one of the most dynamic and diverse campuses that makes those possibilities a reality.

The Yale Student Chapter

The Yale students chapter of AIChE is made up of undergraduates majoring in Chemical Engineering. Our goals are:

- Get more students interested and excited about the Chemical Engineering discipline

- Mentor students to aid the development of their professional and academic careers

- Help students learn more about the options that are open to CENGs post-graduation. 

- Organize more events; like trips to chemical plants, roundtable discussions, and guest speakers to aid these goals
