The American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) was Founded in ‎‎1908 to establish the chemical engineering profession as independent from ‎chemists (responsible for designing reactions) and mechanical engineers ‎‎(responsible for designing reactors) who worked in the chemical industry.‎

AIChE is the world's leading organization for chemical engineering ‎professionals providing leadership to the chemical engineering profession ‎representing more than 50,000 members in industry, academia, and ‎government including members of 90 different countries‎‏.‏

The mission of the AIChE student chapter at UCI is to promote excellence ‎in the Chemical Engineering Department of the UCI School of Engineering ‎by providing resources and support to the undergraduate students so that ‎they can succeed academically and advance professionally. The AIChE ‎student chapter aims at developing project management and program ‎planning skills, holding networking and educational events with ‎professionals and Participating in group competitions.‎

AIChE provides forums to advance the theory and practice of the ‎profession, upholds high professional standards and ethics, and supports ‎excellence in education.‎

AIChE's Vision is to Provide Value as the Global Leader of the chemical ‎Engineering profession, the Lifetime Centre for professional & personal ‎growth, and security of chemical engineers and the Foremost Catalyst in ‎applying chemical engineering expertise in meeting societal needs.‎

It aims at promoting excellence in chemical engineering education and ‎global practice, advancing the development and exchange of relevant ‎knowledge, upholding and advancing the profession's standards, ethics and ‎diversity, enhancing the lifelong career development and financial security of ‎chemical engineers through products, services, networking, and advocacy, ‎stimulating collaborative efforts among industry, universities, government, ‎and professional societies, encouraging other engineering and scientific ‎professionals to participate in AIChE activities; advocating public policy ‎that embraces sound technical and economic information and that ‎represents the interest of chemical engineers, facilitating public ‎understanding of technical issues; and achieving excellence in operations of ‎the Institute.‎


Building  leaders    and    innovators    that    can    promote    their    society    and    benefit    the    whole    world    and    Enabling    the    students    to    have    a    fair    industrial    exposure    during    their    studies.
