It is a technically challenging field that provides valuable products to society. It also pays very well and job security and growth are strong and projected to stay strong. Generally you study it if you liked math (calculus), chemistry, and physics in high school and want to apply this, and more complex technical knowledge to the real world.

While mechanical engineers often deal mostly with water, steam, and air, chemical engineers have the opportunity to deal with any chemical in existence, which can make the behavior very interesting sometimes. It is also important to distinguish chemical engineers from chemists: chemists are concerned with the possibility of making new chemicals and figuring out the chemical pathway to achieve this goal on a laboratory scale. A chemical engineer is concerned with the industrial scale production and the processes, equipment, and economics used in carrying this out.

Do you need a chemistry degree to have an online science job?

Only if that job requires a chemistry degree. If it does not require one then no. You only need a chemistry degree for jobs that require them. Such as Chemistry Teacher, chemical engineers, etc.


Why electrical engineers need chemistry?

Chemistry is the basis of electronic component design. Transistors, resistors, capacitors, inductors all require to be made out of some sort of chemical. The best (cheapest, easiest, fastest) design of these and more complex systems built out of them require understanding chemistry.

What type of classes do prospective engineers need to take?

Physics, chemistry, and math are the big ones. Not that you'll really need them out in the field, but that's what they expect you to take. I'd also suggest some biology and psychology courses as well.


Why do engineers and architects need to work together?

Architects are "What" Engineers are "Why" and the Trades are "How"


Does the science of engineering rely on chemistry?

Most engineering colleges require a year of chemistry. Engineers who design structures or design things made of metal have to know something about treatment of the metals. These processes, such as anaodize, plating and corrosion prevention, require an understanding of chemistry. Electrical engineers use solder to join electrical components, which is a chemical process.
