Chemical engineering basically is applied chemistry. It is the branch of engineering concerned with the design, construction, and operation of machines and plants that perform chemical reactions to solve practical problems or make useful products. In this course they teach to use math, physics, and economics to solve technical problems and to apply the knowledge of chemistry in addition to other engineering disciplines. They devise ways to make products from raw materials and ways to convert one material into another useful form. Chemical engineers sometimes are called 'universal engineers' because their scientific and technical mastery is so broad.
