There
are dozens and dozens of different engineering jobs. Because when it comes down to
the basics, engineering is about using specialized bases of knowledge to solve
a problem. Since we encounter a wide variety of problems, we have an equally
wide range of engineering disciplines, many of which are highly specialized,
designed to solve those problems.
In
broad terms, engineering can be divided into four main categories - chemical,
civil, electrical and mechanical engineering.

Chemical
engineers use their knowledge of sciences - such as chemistry, biology, physics
and math - to solve problems that affect the use or production of chemicals,
food, drugs and more, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
They often work in offices and laboratories, and nearly all of them work
full-time, according to BLS.
Chemical
engineers use their knowledge in the sciences as well as manufacturing to bring
chemical processes developed in a laboratory to a commercial or industrial
process to create products and then evaluate and improve those processes,
according to the .
Chemical
engineers translate processes developed in the lab into practical applications
for the commercial production of products and then work to maintain and improve
those processes. They rely on the main foundations of engineering: math,
physics, and chemistry (though biology is playing an increasing role). The
primary function of chemical engineers is to design and troubleshoot processes
for the production of chemicals, fuels, foods, pharmaceuticals, and
biologicals, just to name a few. They are most often employed by large-scale
manufacturing plants to maximize productivity and product quality while
minimizing costs..
