Chemical Engineering

Chemical engineers are responsible for the design, development and production of new materials that will make life easier and increase the quality of life of humanity, and to bring new areas of use to existing materials. Chemical engineers are involved in all stages, including raw material production, material synthesis and processing, product design, development, production and recovery of end-of-life materials.

What is Chemical Engineering?

Chemical engineering is a versatile engineering branch that includes the development of processes in which the chemical structures, physical states or energy contents of materials change and their application to industrial areas.
