About American Institute of Chemical Engineers
Established in 1908, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) has grown from a small group of chemical engineers into the world's leading professional organization for chemical engineering professionals, boasting over 60,000 members from more than 110 countries. What began as a response to the emerging field of chemical engineering and the need for professional recognition has evolved into a comprehensive support system for chemical engineers worldwide.
AIChE is built on three key pillars: Innovating for Sustainability, Pioneering Excellence, and Unlocking Potential. These pillars focus on fostering an environment where engineers can address societal needs while pursuing their professional growth. The organization provides a plethora of resources, including technical publications, conferences, and educational programs aimed at advancing the field of chemical engineering. AIChE is also committed to inclusivity and diversity, actively encouraging individuals from varied backgrounds to join the community and contribute to the future of chemical engineering.
