Department of Petrochemical Materials Engineering

What is Petrochemical Materials Engineering
Petrochemical Materials Engineering is helping solve the world's most daunting challenges in health, energy, and the environment by improving the products that people use every day. Products made from petrochemicals—derived from crude oil and other fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas or from renewable sources such as sugar cane, corn, and other biomass—are found in products as diverse as automobiles, smartphones, computers, clothes, luggage, boats, fertilizers, pesticides, drugs, soaps, paints, flooring, and insulating materials, which are crucial in modern civilization.
