chemical engineering

Engineering is a growing field in our fast-developing world. How exactly do engineers create the infrastructure that we rely on? Engineers use science and math to design and build machines and structures, such as buildings, roads, and bridges. In this book, readers will learn about what engineering means, who studies it, and how they may apply engineering skills in their own lives. Using reader-friendly language, the text conveys key STEAM concepts in an easy-to-understand way. Bright photographs make the information pop.

Explains fundamental chemistry concepts, and shows how engineers combine the science of chemistry with the engineering design process to solve challenges.

Teaches readers what chemical engineering is and why it's so important in our daily lives, such as enabling solar panels to promote green energy and the creation of consumer products such as Post-It notes. Readers also learn how chemical engineering has helped in medicine, such as by advancing prosthetics.
