To characterize the professional interests, motivations, aspirations and demographics of chemical engineering (CHE) students, we surveyed almost 600 sophomores and seniors at Georgia Tech during the 1996-1997 and 2018-2019 academic years. Our objective was to study the evolution over two decades of: influences on student decision to study CHE, student vision of professional future after graduation, difficulty and interest in CHE major, student interests outside of CHE, student demographics, and student experiences outside the university.
