Chemical Engineering
Chemical engineering is a branch of engineering that applies physical sciences (physics and chemistry), life sciences (microbiology and biochemistry), together with applied mathematics and economics to produce, transform, transport, and properly use chemicals, materials and energy. A chemical engineer designs large-scale methods that convert chemicals, raw materials, living cells, microorganisms and energy into valuable forms and products.
Everything around us is composed of chemicals. When chemicals react with each other newer forms of things are produced. So this branch of engineering applies the principles of chemistry along with mathematics, physics and mechanical engineering and is instrumental in formation of so many new things around help and us in discovering the existing materials for the use of mankind. Nowadays the applications of chemical processes are expanding in various industries so there is a greater need of chemical engineers now. Chemical engineers convert raw materials and chemicals into useful products and help in finding new materials and techniques of their usage. They design and maintain chemical processes of large manufacturing units. They are required as they work to create synthetic replacements for those natural materials and scarce resources.
