Chemical Engineering is one of the most versatile of the engineering programs. It prepares students for employment in many diverse fields, such as production of pharmaceuticals, polymers and plastics, semiconductors, heavy industrial chemicals, synthetic fuels, petrochemicals and petroleum refining. Chemical engineers also work in biologial engineering, environmental engineering, enhanced oil recovery, corrosion control, metallurgy and microelectronics. Undergraduate chemical engineering training has been found to be an excellent background for graduate work not only in engineering, but also in a number of other fields, including medicine, law, business, and the natural sciences.
