As a chemical engineer, you will transform matter or energy into forms that benefit human beings. You might design clean energy solutions, innovate new solutions to biomedical issues, perform research and development in pharmaceuticals, develop new materials for spaceships, or create new ways to feed the world's growing population.<br><br>The foundation you will build in chemistry, physics, biology, and mathematics and your collaborations involving engineering disciplines such as computer science, and biomedical, mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering will prepare you to rise to the challenges that face both the modern-day chemical engineer and the world. Those challenges hallmarks of the early 21st century include environmental integrity, limited resources, and human health and safety.
