Chemical engineering is concerned with chemical reactions and processes, not only on a small laboratory scale, but also on a massive production scale of large quantities of consumer and industrial products.
Products range from basic chemicals to complex and expensive items such as antibiotics and perfume.
Many valued products, now familiar but not available just a few years ago, have been made possible by the work of chemical engineers. Chemical engineers also deal with the problems of processing fossil, chemical and nuclear fuels, and air and water pollution control. In all these instances, the economical production of massive quantities of products requires approaches and methods that are the unique contributions of chemical engineers. A 3.50 overall.
