The Yale Student Chapter
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Yale Student Chapter of AIChE is made up of undergraduates majoring in Chemical Engineering. Our goals are to:
— Get more students interested and informed about the Chemical Engineering discipline.
— Mentor students and fellow chemical engineering undergraduates in the development of their professional and academic careers.
— Help students learn more about the options that are open to Chemical Engineers after graduation.
— Organize educational events to support all of the goals listed above: trips to local chemical plants, roundtable discussions, guest speakers from major companies, career workshops, etc...
