Chemical Engineering is a branch of engineering that deals with the conversion of raw materials or chemicals into useful resources with the use of physical science, chemistry, physics, and mathematics.
Chemical engineering also involves extensive research and development in producing materials and perfecting techniques. Engineers are usually brought into the industry as "process engineers" and are responsible for producing high quality materials that are extremely important for running our industrial economy. These engineers are credited for producing products such as, fertilizers, insecticides, herbicides, plastics, explosives, detergents, soap, shampoo, cleaning fluids, fragrances, flavorings, additives, dietary supplements and pharmaceuticals. The department of chemical engineering often overlaps with the environmental technology field that produces such products as petroleum, glass, paints, inks, glues, wood and food processing.
Chemical Engineering also combines chemistry with engineering to solve problems related to world hunger, pollution, the environment and our demands for energy.
