Today chemical engineers have to meet many different challenges: creating, consuming, respecting, communicating and producing. It means:

• Creating new molecules that are beneficial for man, but which are ethically sound (we can improve living things but there are rules that must be followed).
• Consuming the planet’s resources with moderation, recycling.
• Producing products and processes more quickly, more cheaply with the obligation of zero defects, zero pollution, zero risk.

Every year CPE Lyon trains 150 engineers in Chemistry - Chemical Engineering

The school provides student engineers with a complete education in organic and molecular chemistry, catalysis, analytical sciences, process engineering. Students decide on a speciality based on their tastes and aptitudes, choosing optional modules in year 4 and their option for year 5:

• Among the majors offered at the school are: "Chemistry and processes applied to the environment", "Formulation and implementation of divided solids", "Life sciences and health", and from the start of the academic year 2008: "Process engineering".
• Among the research Masters
• Or in a partner institution in France or abroad.

CPE Lyon engineers are both multidisciplinary and specialists:
They have an overview of the disciplines of chemistry and extensive competencies that enable them to work in research and development, production etc.
They are also expert in their speciality working at the highest level in chemical industries, pharmaceuticals and energy sectors or going on to do research for a doctorate
