These days, the optimization of processing natural resources, developing environmentally-friendly clean technologies and the development of sustainable energy have been extensively pursued for human welfare. Chemical engineering has occupied an interdisciplinary position in the development and optimization of processes based on the fundamental subjects of chemistry, biology, mathematics, and physics for about a hundred years. From the traditional fuel combustion and energy system, chemical engineering has spread to new cutting edge technologies such as advanced materials, renewable energy, microelectronics, manufacturing, biotechnology and environmental solutions. People with graduate chemical engineering degrees go on to work in industry, academia, consulting, government, and other fields.
