Training● Calculus, physical and organic chemistry, physics, and

biology are prerequisites you may have to take in order to train to become a chemical engineer.

● Courses to take during training are Process Control, Materials, Thermodynamics, Biomaterials, and Bioengineering.

● As far as a degree is concerned, all you need is a Bachelor’s(usually a license follows upon graduation).

A Day at WorkAs chemical engineers, you work amongst chemical, fuel, food, drug, aerospace, environmental and many other fields of work and you may have to design, develop, produce, sell, or manage. Whatever it takes. Expect a lot of problem solving, as you take chemist discoveries and apply it to the life around you. You commonly work in a team, large group, or a whole corporation

DupontFrom their successes in Kevlar to Tyvek, Dupont chemical engineering has produced plenty of outstanding achievements in this field.
