Introduction

Chemical engineering is a branch of engineering that uses principles of chemistry, applied physics, life sciences (microbiology and biochemistry), applied mathematics and economics to efficiently use, produce, transform, and transport chemicals, materials and energy.
Chemical engineers design the processes to produce, transform and transport materials to become usable and useful end products, from plastics, to pharmaceuticals to make-up. This begins with experiments in a laboratory and follows on to implementing the technologies in full-scale production.

A degree in chemical engineering combines chemistry, physics, biology, microbiology, biochemistry, mathematics and economics, helping students develop their knowledge at a molecular level, through to the application of expertise in large-scale or industrial environments.
In the past, chemical engineering was known to cover just oil refining and petrochemical production, but the industry is constantly progressing and study will be influenced by advancement in the field. 
 
New and improved materials are always being developed, so students will benefit from tuition in fields such as nanotechnology, fuel cells, fabric development, mineral processing and bioengineering.
A large number of industries rely on the synthesis and processing of chemicals and materials so chemical engineers are always in demand. Traditional careers for a chemical engineer can be found in the chemical, energy and oil industries, as well as the less traditional spheres of biotech, pharmaceuticals, environmental engineering and device fabrication.
