Education for Chemical Engineers

Education for chemical engineers is a type of education that teaches people how to use chemistry, physics, and math to create new products. Chemical engineers create things like fuels, medicines, and food from natural materials. They use their knowledge of the properties of different materials to figure out how to turn these materials into something useful. They also use math skills to figure out how to make the process of turning these materials into a product more efficient and cost effective. Chemical engineers learn all this in chemistry, physics, and mathematics classes. Additionally, they have to learn how to use computers to help them design and then create their products. After learning all this in school, people who get a degree in chemical engineering can work in all kinds of different industries to help them design, build, and test new products.
