Chemical engineering is a multi-disciplinary branch of engineering. It combines natural and experimental sciences, along with life sciences plus mathematics and economics to design, develop, produce, transform, transport, operate and manage the industrial processes that turn raw materials into valuable products. To do this Chemistry and principles of engineering are combined to produce chemicals and their by-products.

Are you interested in battling the various problems relating to food, drugs and chemicals that abound the world? Maybe not, it's a tough battle without proper resources for you to use in combat. But if I were to tell you that there was a way where you can combine the latest technology to develop and design certain chemical manufacturing processes that would have to solve many real-world problems afflicting humankind, would you pick up the gauntlet? Just imagine: Chemistry + Technology. Science and Mathematics. Anyone can see that the combination is a firecracker. If you're interested in this glorious idea, then a Bachelor’s in Chemical Engineering is the right course for you.
