Ever wonder where all of those fantastic new products come from? What about the tasty new items that hit the shelves at the grocery store? New materials, new food additives, and new fuel sources are all developed by chemists. The processes that allow these substances to be mass-produced and become part of a product are developed by chemical engineers. In this Chemical Engineering course, you will build on the knowledge that you gained in your chemistry class and apply it to new and exciting processes. You will learn not only about the way that two chemicals react, but also the importance of controlling the reaction. You will build on your knowledge of exothermic and endothermic reactions as you learn how to control the massive amounts of heat involved in an industrial process. Engineers work to solve real-world problems; in chemical engineering, you will learn how the real-world problem of manufacturing is solved.
