Chemical engineering

Chemical engineering is a branch of engineering that applies physical sciences ( physics and chemistry) and life sciences ( microbiology and biochemistry) together with applied mathematics and economics to produce, transform, transport, and properly use chemicals, materials and energy. Essentially, chemical engineers design large-scale processes that convert chemicals, raw materials, living cells, microorganisms and energy into useful forms and products.
