Chemical Engineering is one of the most vast and important branch of engineering. It is the combined form of physical and life sciences. Research in this branch provides a good platform for the new technologies such as nanotechnology, bio-reactor and fuel-cells. Chemical engineers have to observe the process in the manufacturing process.
