Why study chemical engineering?

Answer 1

It's the highest paying bachelor degree out of all the engineering degrees.

Answer 2

Chemical engineering deals with the large-scale processing of chemicals and chemical products for industrial and consumer uses. Chemical engineers are concerned with the chemical processes that change raw materials into useful products. They plan, design, and help construct chemical plants and equipment and work to develop efficient and economical production methods. Many chemical engineers work for manufacturers of cosmetics, explosives, fertilizers, and other agricultural chemicals, food products, fuels, pharmaceuticals (medical drugs), or plastics.

Chemical engineers must know how to handle and transport large quantities of chemicals. They have to understand such problems as heat transfer from one substance to another, absorption of liquids and gases, and evaporation. Chemical engineers control such processes as distillation, crystallization, filtration, mixing, drying, and crushing.

The work of chemical engineers relies heavily on principles of chemistry, physics, and mathematics, and frequently those of biology as well. Chemical engineers consult with electrical, mechanical, and industrial engineers in the design of plants and equipment. Some chemical engineers work closely with environmental engineers in seeking safe disposal methods for hazardous by-products of chemical processing.

Answer 3

Depends where are you located geographicaly, if you are living in industrialized country then certainly you 'll find many opportunities in manufacturing but if Oil & Gas is around you then you can grow without limits either in upstream or downstrem of this industry. Of course needless to say you have to be extra intelligent and hard working.

Answer 4

cause everything is chemical ! Better living through chemistry.....!

Answer 5

Great future possible, if you can do it. It isn't easy.
