Question: is process engineering the same as chemical engineering

Answer: Yes, Process engineering focuses on the design, operation, control, optimization and intensification of chemical, physical, and biological processes. Process engineering encompasses a vast range of industries, such as chemical, petrochemical, agriculture, mineral processing, advanced material, food, pharmaceutical, software development, automotive, and biotechnological and nuclear industries. The application of systematic computer-based methods to process engineering is ``process systems engineering''.
