Chemical engineers translate processes developed in the lab into practical applications for the commercial production of products and then work to maintain and improve those processes. They rely on the main foundations of engineering: math, physics, and chemistry (though biology is playing an increasing role). The main role of chemical engineers is to design and troubleshoot processes for the production of chemicals, fuels, foods, pharmaceuticals, and biologicals, just to name a few. Chemical engineers work in almost every industry and affect the production of almost every article manufactured on an industrial scale. They are most often employed by large-scale manufacturing plants to maximize productivity and product quality while minimizing costs.
