化学工程学是研究化学工业和其它过程工业生产中所进行的化学过程和物理过程的共同规律的。作为技术科学,它主要以化学、物理学和数学为理论基础。近百年来,该学科经历了诞生、发展和成熟的过程,现已成为四大基础工程之一。目前美国约有100,000名化学工程师。从传统的造纸、食品、制药、钢铁和三大合成工业到现代的稀有金属冶炼、核工 Chemical Engineering is the study of the chemical industry and other process industries in the production of chemical and physical processes carried out by the common law. As a technical science, it mainly based on chemistry, physics and mathematics. Over the past century, the discipline has undergone a process of birth, development and maturity, and has now become one of the four basic projects. At present, there are about 100,000 chemical engineers in the United States. From the traditional papermaking, food, pharmaceutical, steel and three major synthetic industries to the modern rare metal smelting, nuclear
