Chemical Engineering:
Chemical engineering is a branch of engineering that applies the physical sciences (e.g., chemistry and physics) and/or life sciences (e.g. biology, microbiology and biochemistry)
together with mathematics and economics to production, transformation,
transportation and proper usage of molecules, chemicals, materials and
energy. It essentially deals with the engineering of chemicals, energy
and the processes that create and/or convert them. Modern chemical engineers
are concerned with processes that convert raw-materials or chemicals
into more useful or valuable forms. In addition, they are also concerned
with pioneering valuable materials and related techniques – which are
often essential to related fields such as nanotechnology, fuel cells and bioengineering.
Within chemical engineering, two broad subgroups include design,
manufacture, and operation of plants and machinery in industrial
chemical and related processes ("chemical process engineers") and
development of new or adapted substances for products ranging from foods
and beverages to cosmetics to cleaners to pharmaceutical ingredients,
among many other products ("chemical product engineers").
