UBC Envision is the AIChE Student Chapter at the University of British Columbia, originally founded as the UBC Chem-E-Car team. For many years, the team operated with just 5–10 members. In 2015, a surge in interest—driven by stronger recruitment and outreach—sparked rapid growth. A generous donation from the Daniel Family Foundation in 2016 enabled us to expand significantly, launching new student-led projects and providing more hands-on opportunities.
With support from the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering and CHBE faculty, we introduced a junior Chem-E-Car team and projects in flow cells, beer brewing, and biofuels. In 2017, we rebranded as UBC Envision, an umbrella organization that now encompasses a diverse set of engineering design teams.
As of 2025, UBC Envision is a thriving, student-run platform for innovation, technical skill-building, and community impact. Our current projects include:
- Chem-E-Car: Designing and building chemically powered model vehicles for competitions.
- Green Joule: Developing a fully functional bioreactor system to explore sustainable bioprocessing and renewable production pathways.
- CRIT (Cosmetic Research and Innovation Team): Researching cosmetic products with a focus on formulation science, performance, and sustainability.
UBC Envision empowers undergraduate students to turn bold ideas into real-world engineering solutions, gaining practical experience and contributing to a more sustainable future.
