Studying chemical engineering at AUS has been a thoroughly challenging and rewarding experience. Gaining a solid foundation in the study of chemical processes from the molecular scale to the chemical plant level is a hallmark of the undergraduate program. At AUS, I have learned how to develop a strong personal work ethic, and simultaneously work in diverse student teams. I like the fact that the curriculum is strongly grounded in chemistry and math, but also that it provides me an outlet to pursue further interests in fields including bio-medical engineering, catalysis and material science.
