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 contribute to society by helping to manage 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.Chemical engineering is concerned with manipulating the chemical, biochemical or physical state of substances in order to convert raw materials into products in a safe and cost-effective manner. For example, petrol, plastics and the synthetic fibres which make up much of our clothing are all derived from oil which is extracted from the ground as a mixture of oil, water and gas.Our MEngBEng 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 commence their studies.The University has embarked on a major programme of refurbishing and upgrading the facilities. This has seen the addition of a new dedicated chemical engineering teaching laboratory and the development of state-of-the-art computing & learning spaces within the School of Engineering.
