Chemical engineering falls into the catagory of "Engineering"; it deals with sciences,
such as physics and chemistry, to create new things to apply in other sciences such
as biology. Engineers work to develop many verities of things, from robots to artifical
food flavors to the newest iphone computing chip.
"What Do Chemical Engineers Do?
Some chemical engineers make designs and invent new processes.
Some construct instruments and facilities. Some plan and operate facilities. Chemical engineers have helped
develop atomic science, polymers, paper, dyes, drugs, plastics, fertilizers, foods, textiles, and chemicals. They
devise ways to make products from raw materials and ways to convert one material into another useful form.
Chemical engineers can make processes more cost effective or more environmentally friendly or more efficient.
A chemical engineer can find a niche in any scientific or engineering field."
To enter into the field of engineering, you must have at least a bachelor's degree in engineering.
A masters degree is most helpful if you wish to be successful. A bachelor's degree in Math and
Chemistry is sometimes also required.
