CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

Chemical engineers design, construct and operate process plants (fractionating columns pictured)Chemical engineering is a branch of engineering that uses principles of chemistry, physics, mathematics, biology, and economics to efficiently use, produce, transform, and transport chemicals, materials, and energy. A chemical engineer designs large-scale processes that convert chemicals, raw materials, living cells, microorganisms, and energy into useful forms and products.Chemical engineers are involved in many aspects of plant design and operation, including safety and hazard assessments, process design and analysis, control engineering, chemical reaction engineering, biological engineering, construction specification, and operating instructions. Chemical engineering degree is directly linked with all the majors of various engineering disciplines.

化学工程师设计、建造和操作工艺装置（如图所示的分馏塔）化学工程是工程学的一个分支，它利用化学、物理、数学、生物学和经济学的原理来有效地使用、生产、转化和运输化学品、材料和能源。一位化学工程师设计了将化学物质、原材料、活细胞、微生物和能量转化为有用形式和产品的大规模工艺。化学工程师参与了工厂设计和运行的许多方面，包括安全和危害评估、工艺设计和分析、控制工程、化学反应工程、生物工程、施工规范和操作说明。化学工程学位与各工程专业各专业直接挂钩。
