Chemical Engineering is the combination of Science and Art of Designing.
Chemical Engineer determines the feasibility of chemical process and make it cost effective by optimization of parameters.He streamlines unit operations and prepare detail design for fabrication.
He manage the inventory system in production of chemical products and control it by analysis.
Chemical Engineer utilize chemical engineering software for EPFD, P&ID, designing of unit operation and cost evaluation

What Is Chemical Engineering? Chemical engineering basically is applied chemistry.
It is the branch of engineering concerned with the design, construction, and operation of machines and plants that perform chemical reactions to solve practical problems or make useful products.
What Is a Chemical Engineer? Like all engineers, chemical engineers use math, physics, and economics to solve technical problems.
The difference between chemical engineers and other types of engineers is that they apply a knowledge of chemistry in addition to other engineering disciplines.
Chemical engineers sometimes are called 'universal engineers' because their scientific and technical mastery is so broad.
What Do Chemical Engineers Do? Some chemical engineers make designs and invent new processes.
Some construct instruments and facilities.
Some plan and operate facilities.
Chemical engineers have helped develop atomic science, polymers, paper, dyes, drugs, plastics, fertilizers, foods, petrochemicals...
pretty much everything.
They devise ways to make products from raw materials and ways to convert one material into another useful form.
Chemical engineers can make processes more cost effective or more environmentally friendly or more efficient.
As you can see, a chemical engineer can find a niche in any scientific or engineering field.
