Why Should I Study Chemical Engineering?

Chemical engineers work to improve the quality of people's lives. Most items used by people everyday need chemical engineers to produce them. Chemical engineers help to end starvation, disease and poverty. They are working to save the environment by developing alternative technologies to combat acid rain, lead pollution and the greenhouse effect.

What will I Learn?

Chemical engineers have technical knowledge of Chemistry, Biochemistry, Engineering, Material Science and Information Technology. However, they also know about Economics, Management, Safety and Environment. The tools used include sophisticated scientific experiments, the latest developments in computing, and large-scale pilot plants.

Ready to Join?

Chemical engineering remains one of the best-paying professions in the world with salaries rising by 30% over the last decade.
