| SCHOOL OF CHEMICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING |
The School of Chemical and Environmental Engineering was established on Sept. 14th, 2022 from the integration two departments, Department of Environmental Engineering & Department of Chemical Engineering. With the “job-ready” philosophy, the education program for chemical engineers and environmental engineers at International University is designed to meet the needs of the global labor market and for qualified engineers having practical, good English and proficient skills in the field of chemistry and environment.
| EDUCATION PROGRAM |
The School of Chemical & Environmental Engineering aspires to be a place where quality and prestigious chemical and environmental engineers are trained. Chemical and environmental engineers trained in the discipline will be able to meet the needs of the global job market by applying basic knowledge to solve a wide range of problems in the industry. Engineers who graduated from International University’s engineering program can communicate and use English fluently, work well in teams, and adapt well to diverse working environments.

| SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS |
Statistics on scientific publications in the 2021-2022 academic year:
- Total number of papers: 46
- Average: 2.6 quartile-Q1 papers/faculty/year
| FACULTY & STAFF |
Faculty and staff at the school have extensive experience teaching and conducting research and have received training at prestigious universities in the United States (University of Utah, University of Louisville), United Kingdom (Imperial College London), Korea (University of Ulsan), Japan (Kyoto University) and Taiwan (National Central University, National Chiao Tung University). A number of international and national awards have been bestowed upon our faculty and staff for their contributions to education and research.
| LABORATORY SYSTEM |
The laboratory system consists of experimental (i.e., Organic/Inorganic Chemistry*, Physical & Analytical Chemistry*, Environmental Teaching, Environmental Treatment, Engineering, Microbiology* and Process Engineering*) and modeling/simulation (i.e., Computational Chemistry) laboratories. These labs provide students with an opportunity to learn about the latest advances in chemical and environmental engineering. Students also benefit from strong collaborations with national and global partners who share our vision of providing world class education and research opportunities.
