ChemE Cube NU

ChemE Cube is a club dedicated to participating in the annual competition that takes place at the conference for American Institute of Chemical Engineers. This is a relatively new organization with many members excited about building a reactor and improving their engineering skills. The competition involves designing and constructing a one-cubic-foot reactor that completes a societally beneficial chemical process. This year, we are building a direct-air capture (DAC) cube that removes CO₂ from the atmosphere and couples the technology to a business and financial model. ChemE Cube uniquely combines technical design, experimental validation, and commercialization planning, which prepares participants for industry and research roles by developing technical proficiency and leadership skills.
