`What Chemical Engineers Do
`Chemical engineers apply the principles of chemistry, biology, physics, and math to solve problems that
`involve the use of fuel, drugs, food, and many other products.
`
`Work Environment
`Chemical engineers work mostly in offices or laboratories. They may spend time at industrial plants, refineries, and other locations, where they monitor or direct
`operations or solve onsite problems. Near1y all chemical engineers work full time.
`
`How to Become a Chemical Engineer
`Chemical engineers must have a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering or a related field. Employers also value practical experience, Therefore, internships
`and cooperative engineering programs can be helpful.
`
`~Y.
`The median annual wage for chemical engineers was $104,910 in May 2018.
`
`Job Outlook
`Employment of chemical engineers is projected to grow 6 percent from 2018 to 2028, about as fast as the average for all oa:upations. Demand for chemical
`engineer.;' services depends largely on demand for the products of various manufacturing industries.

`What Chemical Engineers Do
`Oiemical engineers apply the principles of chemistry, biology, physics, and math to solve problems
`that involve the production or use of chemicals, fuel, drugs, food, and many other products. They
`design processes and equipment for large-scale manufacturing, plan and test production methods
`and byproducts treabnent, and direct facility operations.
`
`Duties
`Oiemical engineers typically do the following:
`
`About this sect1on 0
`
`• Conduct research to develop new and improved manufacturing processes
`• Establish safety procedures for those working with dangerous chemicals
`• Develop processes for separating corrponents of liquids and gases, or for generating electrical
`currents, by using controlled chemical processes
`Design and plan the layout of equipment
`• Conduct tests and monitor the performance of processes throughout production
`• Troubleshoot problems with manufacturing processes
`Evaluate equipment and processes to ensure compliance with safety and environmental regulations
`• Estimate production costs for management
`
`Chemical engineers develop and design chemical
`manufacturing processes.
`
`Some chemical engineers, known as process engineers, specialize in a particular process, such as oxidation (a reaction of oxygen with chemicals to make other
`
`chemicals) or polymerization (making plastics and resins).
`
`Others specialize in a particular field, such as nanomaterials (extremely small substances) or biological engineering. Still others specialize in developing specific
`products.
`
`In addition, chemical engineers worl<. in the production of energy, electronics, food, dothing, and paper. They must understand how the manufacturing process
`affects the environment and the safety of workers and consumers.
`
`Oiemical engineers also conduct research in the life sciences, biotechnology, and business services.

`About this section 0
`
`Chemical engineers work mostly in offices or laborat ories. They may spend time at industrial plants,
`refineries, and other locations, where they monitor or direct operations or solve onsit e problems.
`Chemical engineers must be able to work with t hose who design other systems and with the
`technicians and mechanics who put the designs into practice.
`
`Some engineers t ravel extensively to plants or worksites, both domestically and abroad.
`
`Chemical engineers generally work in offices or
`laboratory settings, although sometimes they must w ork
`in an industrial setting to oversee production.
`
`Injuries and Illnesses
`Chemical engineers can be exposed to health or safety hazards when handling certain chemicals and plant equipment, but such exposure can be avoided rf
`proper procedures are followed.
`
`Work Schedules
`Nearly all chemical engineers work full time. Occasionally, they may have t o work additional hours t o meet production t argets and design st andards or t o
`troubleshoot problems With manufacturing processes. Some chemical engineers work more than 40 hours per week.
