chemical engineers
Industrial process specialists
Chemical engineers apply chemistry, physics, and mathematics to design and operate processes that transform raw materials into useful products.
They work in industries from petroleum refining to pharmaceuticals to food processing, scaling laboratory reactions to industrial production.
The discipline bridges pure chemistry and practical manufacturing: Chemical engineers designed the plant's filtration system.
