Our chapter consists of all students majoring in chemical engineering at the University of Iowa who have taken material and energy balances or are in the second semester of their sophomore year or later. All members are required to become a national member of AIChE, and attend weekly meetings that feature guest speakers from around the country. In addition, members must complete a professional enhancement activity as well as a volunteer activity each semester to supplement their chemical engineering education. Members participate in a variety of other activities, such as the Chem-E-Jeopardy and Chem-E-Car competitions at the regional and national AIChE conferences. The Jeopardy team has had multiple recent successes, including the 2013, 2014, 2020, and 2021, and 2023 national titles, and 2nd place in the 2015 and 2022 national competition. Other events include the organization of K-12 STEM Outreach activities in local elementary and middle schools.
