Choosing your engineering discipline
Watch our introductory subject videos to find out what careers and study in civil, mechanical, electronic and chemical engineering involves.
What is Chemical Engineering?
Chemical engineering benefits society and the environment by combining science, mathematics and engineering to develop new technologies, processes and products.
Chemical engineers follow career paths in oil and gas, hydrogen storage, electronics and communications, alternative fuels or healthcare industries. They work to deliver clean water, develop spacecraft, manage chocolate production or research new ways to generate energy.
