Chemical engineering is a branch of engineering that applies physical sciences

(physics and chemistry), life sciences (microbiology and biochemistry), together with applied
mathematics and economics to produce, transform, transport, and properly use chemicals, materials
and energy. Essentially, chemical engineers design large-scale processes that convert chemicals,
raw materials, living cells, microorganisms and energy into useful forms and products.
