About the Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Department:

The Chemical and Petroleum Engineering department at the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering was established in 1910, making it the first department for petroleum engineering in the world. Today, our department has 26 full time faculty, over 35 expert faculty (tenure/tenure-stream/joint/adjunct), a host of dedicated staff, more than 20 state-of-the-art laboratories and learning centers, and education programs that enrich with strong fundamentals and hands-on experience. There are currently 360 undergraduate students and 83 graduate students.

Our department is ranked top 20 for chemical engineering programs at a public university and boasts $10.1 million research budget and 149 peer-reviewed publications. Our faculty continue to be acknowledged for their outstanding commitment to research and teaching. Our students are winning awards and competitions, such as AIChE ChemE Car, NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program, Pitt SEED Grant, Big Idea Blitz, Randall Family Big Idea competition, and many more.

Our alumni are leaders in the chemical and energy industries and continue to bring recognition back to Pitt for their great successes. Whether in fields of energy storage or sustainable energy conversion, process engineering or interfacial characterizations, catalytic microreactors or nanomaterials, drug delivery or biosensors, our graduates change the world.
