Chemical Engineering
Deals with the systematic design, development and operations of process systems for the extraction, conversion and recovery of economically useful materials. Chemical engineers are concerned with processes that convert raw materials or chemicals into more useful or valuable forms.
This discipline strives to develop industry centric personnel with a specialization in petrochemicals, petroleum refining and other significant streams.
Chemical engineering is a multi-disciplinary branch of engineering that combines natural and experimental sciences such as chemistry and physics along with life sciences such as biology, microbiology and biochemistry and in addition mathematics and economics to design, develop, produce, transform, transport, operate and manage the industrial processes that turn raw materials into valuable products. A chemical engineering degree develops a wide variety of technical and transferable skills that can lead to a vast range of jobs in business, finance and law, as well as engineering. Opportunities are in plenty for the chemical engineers to work as production and process engineers.
Chemical engineers have many career opportunities. A graduate might perform ground breaking scientific research, work as a field engineer, or occupy a senior management position. Graduates employed by multinational companies often travel all over the world. Chemical engineers are employed across a wide range of businesses by both large and small companies. Chemical engineers work to improve the quality of people`s lives. Most items used by people everyday have needed chemical engineers to produce them.
