4 years
As a chemical engineer, you will invent, develop
and design processes that convert raw materials
into useful products with minimal environmental
impact. You are also involved with pollution
control, protection of the environment and with
energy conservation – critical responsibilities as
populations grow and resources and energy
reserves decline.
