At the University of Adelaide (Australia), the mission of Chemical Engineering is: “Transform the discoveries in chemistry to improve human health in the new millennium”.

Chemical Engineering is very essential to improve health and living standard of society through developing, large-scale production, packaging and distributing health-care products.

Particularly, a Chemical Engineer can:

•       Join in inter-industry groups, research and develop new pharmaceutical composite to supply for the market.
•       Accurately quantify every essential component to make a new pharmaceutical composite with certain amount.
•       Produce pharmaceutical composite on a proper scale for widely experience to make sure it’s safe and effective to use.
•       Point out chemicals for pharmaceutical composite production in a suitable and pure process.
•       Design and apply pharmaceutical composite production process economically, safely and sustain efficient chemical processes in laboratories.
•       Systematize the types and quantities of chemical products in correspondence with each patient’s case, state and objective.

With the responsibilities mentioned, Chemical Engineers not only work in pharmaceutical chemistry industry but also can take part in some other industries, such as nanotechnology, biological technology, food and spices industry, nutrition industry, cosmetic and personal products,…

Chemical Engineering is a high technology industry which links with other industry in the economy, and is developing with fast pace. That is why the career opportunities for engineers of Chemical Engineering is very widely open. To have competitive advantages to keep up with the industry’s high-speed development, they, chemical engineers, must nourish themselves perfectly in specialized knowledge, foreign languages, working skills and always update themselves.
