5- B. Sc. Chemical & Petrochemical Engineering
Chemical and Petrochemical engineering is concerned with processes in which matter and energy undergo change.
The range of concerns is so broad that the chemical and Petrochemical engineering graduate is prepared for a variety of interesting and challenging employment opportunities. The chemical engineer with a strong background in sciences is found in management, design, operations, and research. The chemical engineer is employed in almost all industries, including food, polymers, chemicals, petrochemicals, natural gas, pharmaceuticals, petroleum, medicine, materials, and electronics. Since solutions to energy, environmental, and food problems must surely involve chemical changes, there will be continued demands for chemical engineers in the future. You will learn:
