It is true that chemical engineers are comfortable with chemistry, but they do much more with this knowledge than just make chemicals. In fact, the term "chemical engineer" is not even intended to describe the type of work a chemical engineer performs. Instead it is meant to reveal what makes the field different from the other branches of engineering. All engineers employ mathematics, physics, and the engineering art to overcome technical problems in a safe …showed first 75 words of 270 total…

Of these, chemical engineers are numerically the smallest group. However, this relatively small group holds a very prominent position in many industries, and chemical engineers are, on average, the highest paid of the "Big Four" (see WAGES). Additionally, many chemical engineers have found their way into upper management. A chemical engineer is either currently, or has previously,
