Chemical Engineering is a profession that involves the innovation and manufacture of products through the integration of equipment design in various chemical and physical processes. It also encompasses developing solutions to environmental problems. Chemical Engineering requires a broad knowledge of chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, and other natural and social sciences to conceptualize, design, and develop industrial chemical processes that will convert raw materials into valuable products in safe, ethical, and economical way.

Chemical Engineering is one of the broader fields of the engineering disciplines both in terms of the range of problems that fall within its purview and in the range of knowledge required to solve those problems.
