The chemical engineer works on developing techniques that transform raw materials into
useful products, such as paints, adhesives, textiles, and plastics. Some works in
laboratories where they design new products, while others specialize in developing efficient
manufacturing processes for the machines and techniques used to produce products with an eye
toward quality and safety standards.
Skills:
- Good skills in dealing with others to interact with a group of people across society.
- Problem solving and analytical skills to manage complex projects and large budgets.
- Mathematical skills and the ability to apply scientific principles to real world
problems.
