Scope of branch

Chemical engineering basically converts raw materials into useful valuable forms.
Chemical Engineer mainly deals with the study of the chemical technology and the production of
chemicals. Nowadays Chemical Engineers can also work with an emerging field such as
Nanotechnology and Biotechnology.
There is huge scope for chemical engineers in future due to industrial expansion.
Importance in society and corporate world:Chemical Engineers are playing vital role in society as well as in corporate world. These are few
examples where they mainly contribute
1. Chemical engineers improve food processing techniques, and methods of producing
fertilizers, to increase the quantity and quality of available food.
2. They also construct the synthetic fibers that make our clothes more comfortable and
water resistant; they develop methods to produce drugs, making them more affordable.
3.

They create safer, more efficient methods of refining petroleum products, making energy
and chemical sources more productive and cost effective.

4. Chemical engineers also develop solutions to environmental problems, such as pollution

control and remediation.

Overall chemical engineers could make very important contributions

almost in every field for the improvement and maintenance of the quality
of life.
