YES
Chemical engineering is a mixture of mechanical eng and chemistry but chemistry part is not as deep as a chemist. I took only 3 chemistry classes during my 4 yr chem eng. study: General chemistry 1&2 and organic chemistry for engineers.
Chem eng is much closer to mechanical eng.

Actually, it's quite the opposite! There's plenty of chemistry to go around... A little too much I might add. Furthermore, chemical engineering is a difficult and a very chemistry and physics intensive major... So don't be mislead. I studied biochemistry back in college, and I can tell you that the chemical engineering students took just about all the chemistry course I took as a biochemistry major...

It all depends on what field of chemistry that you work in.
If you work in a lab there will be plenty of chemistry involved, if you work at developing industrial plants and processes that produce the chemicals you will be working more with equipment than with chemicals.
You could also end up working in a plant that produces industrial and consumer products from chemical processes.
Lots of opportunities in this field.

In your first year you'll be taking alot of chemistry classes...organic, inroganic, analytical etc. but towards the end it becomes alot more math, statistics...it's like mathematical chemistry....so you're not writing chemistry equations all day...you work with alot of formulae (which makes it mathematical).

there are a few chemistry courses: inorganic, organic, physical chemistry, general chemistry. it doesnt go into too much detail though. by the end of your second year all your chemistry courses are done

yes its called CHEMICAL engineering for all the physics in it.... smack whoever told you that... there is so much chemistry classes it will make you want to shoot yourself ( coming from an EE)

I think not. But most of it is applied and if you are looking for pure science, probably you should stick to B.Sc and M.Sc.
