CHEMICAL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY (CHET) and HEMLOCK SEMICONDUCTOR (HSC)

We are excited about the recent announcement that Hemlock SemiConductor plans to build an expansion plant in the Clarksville-Montgomery County area beginning in 2009 with an expected full production date of late 2012.  This page will assist you in your search for information about that company and their plans for employment needs as well as our plans to create a new Chemical Engineering Technology (CHET) program at Austin Peay State University.  Please follow the links below for additional information.

General Information about CHET

     The Chemistry Department has received approval to create a new program called Chemical Engineering Technology (CHET).  We began the first classes of CHET in Fall 2009.  The CHET program is housed in the Chemistry Department of APSU and will earn the successful student an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) from the university.  Successful completion of this program will not guarantee employment with HSC or any other company for that matter.  It will make you marketable for such positions and improve your chances of being employed by HSC or any of a number of chemical-related industries. 

To start classes in CHET....

• apply for admission to the university:

  • use the paper (PDF file) application as found at http://apsu.edu/Admissions/Application/AdmAppFall2008.pdf 

  • read the entire PDF file completely

  • print pages 8-13

  • complete those pages and write "Chemical Engineering Technology or CHET" somewhere on the front page so your name will be sent to our department to ensure correct advising

  • submit your completed application with application fee to the address given in the application form

• if you prefer to apply to the university on line, use "CHET" as your major following this link:  http://go.apsu.edu/index4.html

• be accepted to the university

• complete all remedial and developmental courses (if necessary)

• review the list of courses required to complete the curriculum.  Note that once you are admitted to the university, you may enroll in classes for the spring or summer sessions to get a head start!  Call our office for more information. 

• contact the Chemistry Department (931-221-7626) for advising and to register for classes on main campus or at Fort Campbell

• study hard and do well in all classes!!!  (You may be able to earn a scholarship from Workforce Essentials to help pay for the 2nd year classes.)

Interested in Teaching in the Chemical Engineering Technology program?  Visit the APSU Human Resources website to apply to be the PROGRAM DIRECTOR or an Adjunct Faculty member in Chemistry.  Also, visit the HR website frequently for future Tenure-Track openings that will be created as the program grows and expands!
