The primary task of Chemical Engineers is the mastery of the industrial
processes which chemically transform various natural resources into
more useful and valuable products. These products range from paper
and gasoline to medicines and computer microchips. The Chemical Engineer
is constantly concerned with improving these processes to best conserve
resources, including capital, while preserving and protecting the
environment.
