What
is Chemical
Engineering?
Generally, a chemical engineer takes
available substances and figures out how
to convert or combine those particular
substances into consumer-friendly products,
which includes the entire chemical process
involved and materials needed. So a chemical
engineer is responsible for the design,
operability and safety of plants used to massproduce these products. Everything from
the cereal you eat to the water you
drink is the result of a chemical
engineer’s hard work.
