What you study

Chemical engineering deals with the industrial production and extraction of chemicals and uses the principles of chemistry, physics, mathematics, and economics for the use, production, and conversion of chemicals, materials, and energy. Chemical engineering also deals with the transition from developing processes on a small scale in the laboratory, through setting up pilot plants for initial production, to operating huge industrial plants. Topics studied in the degree include core subjects in mathematics, chemistry, and physics, as well as chemical engineering subjects, including thermodynamics, chemical reactor design, process control, process optimization, organic chemistry and polymers, inorganic chemistry, corrosion and protection methods, analytical mechanics, and more.
