What is ChemE Cube?

In ChemE Cube competitions, different Universities have a team that designs, builds, and demonstrates a 1 cubic foot plant prototype that effectively addresses the annual problem statement (which changes each year). Teams compete on cube performance via a head-to-head duel and promote their technology through a 1-minute ad, poster, and 20-minute 'shark tank' style pitch to a panel of mock investors.

See the official competition rules from the 2025 student conference here.
