<p>For chem eng, how will grad schools view research if it's in chemistry or physics?</p>
<p>Research experience is always a plus, especially if you have publications. Graduate Chemical engineering programs have a lot of research within chemistry/physics so you shouldn’t be at any disadvantage.</p>
<p>hey I’m a cheme, and I’m doing research on physics. If you look at cheme correctly, it is based on principles in physics and chemistry and the rest is computing and other experimental data manipulation and applications. So, there are many things you can research on for cheme. I know some of my classmates doing research on synthesis of polymers for better solar cells to some doing computer simulations for protein folding and in my case, analyzing thin films exposed to plasma under different conditions. Making your research broader might be a plus and it will help you see if you’re fit for those kinds of research, try them out.</p>

<p>Whoa, am I one of your classmates? Haha thanks guys.</p>
