What is Chemical Engineering?
Chemical
engineering is the management of processes which are used to
up-grade materials by changing their physical and chemical
properties. It is a key engineering discipline, which
combines knowledge of basic chemistry and mathematics with
engineering principles and real world economic
considerations.
