Chemical engineering is all about changing raw materials into useful products you use everyday in a safe and cost-effective way. Chemical engineers understand how to alter the chemical and/or physical state of a substance to create anything from face creams to fuels.
 

Chemical engineers are also involved in the design, modification and operation of processes to produce desirable products, and work across a large variety of sectors including: Energy, Environment, Pharmaceuticals, Oil and Gas, Business and management, Nuclear, Food and drink, Chemicals, Healthcare, Materials, Water, Biotechnology, Process Plant and Equipment, Mining and Minerals.
