The AIChE Student Chapter at Beirut Arab University was founded on 2020 as part of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, the world’s leading professional society for chemical engineers. Based at the Debbieh Campus, the chapter brings together 80+ motivated students who want to grow both inside and beyond the classroom, connecting academic learning with real-world industry practice.

Our chapter is driven by the following goals:

-Strengthening technical knowledge and practical skills in chemical engineering and related fields.

-Bridging the gap between university and industry through site visits, talks, and workshops with professionals.

-Preparing students for their careers through training, mentorship, and networking opportunities.

-Encouraging participation in regional and international AIChE competitions, conferences, and events.

-Promoting safety, sustainability, and responsible engineering practice.

-Building leadership, communication, and teamwork skills among our members.

-Linking BAU students with the global AIChE network of students and professionals.

-Giving back to the community through outreach and volunteering initiatives.

-Growing an active, diverse membership that represents chemical engineering at BAU.

-Supporting every member in becoming an official international AIChE member.
