What is Chemical Engineering?
Chemical Engineering is a broad discipline that encompasses so much more than chemistry alone. As a chemical engineer, you are not only at home in fields of research such as chemistry, materials science or process technology, but you are also well versed in in more physics-related areas, such as fluid dynamics and thermodynamics.
Chemical engineers are creative problem solvers who use their scientific and technical expertise to develop novel chemical processes, materials and products for a wide variety of applications.
