 Conclusion
Including Jobs 1 & 2

Chemical engineers are in great demand because of the

WHO large number of industries that depend on the synthesis

and processing of chemicals and materials.

In addition to traditional careers in the chemical, energy

ARE and oil industries, chemical engineers enjoy increasing

opportunities in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals,
electronic device fabrication and environmental
engineering.

WE? The unique training of the chemical engineer becomes

essential in these areas when processes involve the
chemical or physical transformation of matter.
