Because of this nature of the discipline, chemical engineering has become important not only in the chemical industry but also in other industries, such as food, medicine, electronics, metals and automobiles, as well as energy industries, such as petroleum refining, electricity and gas. More recently, chemical engineering has been contributing to society, such as in developing new materials and ingredients, addressing challenging issues of life science, developing new resources and energies, and solving global environmental issues.Researchers and engineers in chemical engineering deal with all processes and systems associated with chemical reactions with emphasis on the balance between substances and energies. They are engaged in the development of advanced chemical synthesizing technology, synthesizing systems for new substances and new materials using nanotechnology and biotechnology and their production systems, environmentally-friendly new energy systems, and innovative resource circulation systems for a recycling-oriented society.Education and research in the department focus on developing specialists who not only have expertise in a specific field but also have all-round competence to be able to oversee the entire targeted chemical system and rationally design and assess it from a global perspective. Graduates of the department are playing an active role in a wide range of industrial fields.18
