Chemical Engineer

Chemical engineers apply the principles of chemistry, biology, physics, and mathematics to solve problems involving the production or use of chemicals, food, drugs, fuel, and many other products. They design processes and equipment for large-scale manufacturing, plan and test production methods, and byproduct treatment and direct facility operations. Chemical engineers are at the forefront of evolving and developing new chemical processes that are sustainable, efficient, and minimize waste. They work in a variety of industries, including pharmaceuticals, energy, food and beverages, and materials manufacturing. These professionals can expect to work collaboratively with other engineers, scientists, and business professionals to improve production efficiency and product quality.
