Chemical Engineering

Chemical engineers build a bridge between science and manufacturing, applying the principles of chemistry and engineering to solve problems involving the production or use of chemicals.  They design equipment and develop processes for large-scale chemical manufacturing, plan and test methods of manufacturing products and treating byproducts, and supervise production.  Chemical engineering also work in healthcare, biotechnology, and business services industries.  They are aware of all aspects of chemical manufacturing and how it affects the environment, the safety of workers, and customers.
