化学工程师通过帮助管理资源，保护环境以及控制健康和安全程序为社会做出了贡献。如果您对物理世界的运作方式有敏锐的兴趣，那么对如何利用化学反应和物质的物理特性来创造改变世界的技术感兴趣，并希望为改善人类生活做出积极的贡献，那么您应该考虑化学工程。化学工程涉及操纵物质的化学，生物化学或物理状态，以便以安全和具有成本效益的方式将原材料转化为产品。例如，构成我们大部分衣服的汽油，塑料和合成纤维都是从石油中提取的，石油是从地下提取的，油，水和气体的混合物。
Chemical engineers, also known as process engineers, take labsmall scale production up to industrial scale. This can be bioprocesses like pharmaceuticals, food such as bread, industrial chemicals like fertilizers, or even nuclear power plants. They contribute to wider society by managing resources, protecting the environment, and controlling health and safety procedures.If you have an aptitude and fascination for how the physical world works, are interested in how chemical reactions and the physical properties of matter can be harnessed to create world-changing technologies, and want to contribute positively to making the life of the human race better, then you should consider Chemical Engineering. Our BEngMEng Chemical Engineering degrees deliver the learning outcomes required of any general chemical engineering degree programme giving our graduates the opportunity to find employment across the broad spectrum of Chemical Engineering employers. Our location in Aberdeen, the energy capital of Europe, and our engagement with local industry means that our students have the opportunity to engage with the local upstream oil and gas industry from the moment they embark on their studies. They can also engage with the energy transition directly, with our research in the bioproduction of chemicals and one of the largest wind-farms in the UK just offshore.The University has embarked on a major programme of refurbishing and upgrading the teaching facilities. This has seen the addition of a new several dedicated chemical engineering laboratories and the development of state-of-the-art computing & learning spaces within the School of Engineering.
