  7. How Much do Chemical Engineers Make? Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2018 Data

  8. Employment of Chemical Engineers by State Texas has the MOST number of chemical engineering jobs in the US Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

  9. Why are Chemical Engineers so Highly Sought After? • An undergraduate degree in chemical engineering provides: • Knowledge of engineering, mathematics, and science (especially chemistry) • The capability for analyzing and optimizing complex systems • The capacity to work over a wide range of scales, from molecular to industrial • An understanding of the importance of safety and sustainability

  10. Unique Features of CHEN at Texas A&M University • Close connection with industry • Stable job market in Texas • Student organizations (AIChE, OXE) • Undergraduate research emphasis (CHEN 491) • Leadership career path
