Chemical Engineering

Chemical engineers combine the science of chemistry with the discipline of engineering in order to solve problems and find more efficient ways of doing things. One might not realize from this definition that chemical engineers are largely responsible for the production of the fuel we burn, the purification of water and air and the recovery and use of the raw materials found in our land and oceans. Chemical engineers develop processes on all scales- from industrial processes involving tons of materials every hour, to micro-scale and nano-scale processes involved in making semiconductor circuits or in biological processes.
