PHYSICAL SCIENCE, STEM CAREERS In this video, learn from chemical engineers Laura and Wade about what it takes to become a chemical engineer and why it's a great career. Find out how chemical engineers do things like save the environment, take waste and make it useful, and solve real-world problems every day.
ABOUT THE SCIENCE What do disposable diapers, soda, hydrogen fuel cells, aluminum, penicillin and snowboards have in common? They were all invented or further processed by a chemical engineer! Are you someone who likes to solve problems? Do you like making something new? Do you care about the environment? If so, being a chemical engineer might just be for you! As an engineer in this field, you get to apply chemistry to the industrial process to make things. It takes technology, innovation, and ideas to help generate an end result. An example of this is through making textiles out of weeds! As a chemical engineer, first you would put the weeds through a processing system, have them pulped, put through an extruder to create a fiber, and then voila! You can use that to create textiles. To ensure chemical engineers are being friendly to the environment, their decision making always considers renewable resources.
