SBU AIChE Mission and Objectives

     The American Institute of Chemical Engineers at Stony Brook University promotes professional development within the context of Chemical Engineering academia and industry. Meetings are discussion-based and dynamic to best incorporate member input. Events include the fast-paced Interview Bootcamp, in which members are tasked with answering common and difficult interview questions that challenge critical thinking skills, professional intelligence, and spoken abilities. Writing successful and unique professional documents is also an integral focus of the club. See our new SBU/AICHE website for details.

     SBU AIChE is proud to take part in the National and Regional AIChE Conferences, each held once a year. The chapter consistently brings a large number of Stony Brook students to these events, where members network with professionals, strengthen bonds with sister chapters, and compete in poster competitions and the Chem-E Car competition. On a monthly basis, the club attends AIChE Metro Meetings in New York City to advance professional development and the Stony Brook name.

     The American Institute of Chemical Engineers at Stony Brook aims to further the National Chapter Mission in providing value as “the Global Leader of the chemical Engineering profession, The Lifetime Center for professional & personal growth, and security of chemical engineers, [and] The Foremost Catalyst in applying chemical engineering expertise in meeting societal needs” (AIChE).
