Careers in Chemical Engineering Overview: Chemical engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with the design, construction, and operation of plants and machinery for making such products as acids, dyes, drugs, plastics, and synthetic rubber by adapting the chemical reactions discovered by the laboratory chemist to large-scale production. Chemical engineers apply the principles of chemistry to solve problems involving the production or use of chemicals and biochemical. They design equipment and processes for large-scale chemical manufacturing plants and test methods of manufacturing products and also treat by-products, and supervise production. Some chemical engineers may specialise in a particular chemical process, such as oxidation or polymerization. Others specialise in a particular field, such as materials science, or in the development of specific products. Chemical engineers are employed by almost all companies in the chemical process industry; their work also extends to processes in food production, the development of new sources of energy, and even medicine. In addition to process and product development and design, chemical engineers work in areas such as research, environmental studies, market analysis, data processing, and management.
