Chemical Engineering is awesome!

If you enjoy doing math and science it is a good job, because that is the roots of this job.Whem you have a background of loving math and science since childhood it makes chemical engineering a dream job and it pays super good!

—Guest chemical engineer expert ;-)

It's obvious

Chemical engineering is the most diversed field in terms of engineering with good grades in maths and science its the best choice

Chemical Engineer in the Academe

After I graduated and took the licensure Exams for Chemical Engineering, i immediately got employed in the a very dynamic industry of food and chemical derivatives used in food. That industrial experiences i had facilitated my teaching chemistry in high school. It made be natural in explaining chemical reactions to students. In my present field in the educational system, i hope to inspire young people to pursue further studies in the field of chemistry to discovery new substances to improves man's modern life.

do chemical engineers need biology?

im from malaysia here. just started my studies on chemistry and physics. i've been wondering though, is biology needed in becoming a chemical engineer?

—Guest kjk

Hard science

Chemical engineering has a lot to do with applied physics and very little to do with chemistry. If you have a strong maths and physics A level background you are most likely going to do well in your undergraduate studies.
