Further information

Internet links

It is hoped that these pages have served as an interesting and enticingly succinct introduction to the background and valuable work of chemical engineers. There is a wealth of further information available on the internet. Several U.K. University departments include descriptions of their courses on their web sites. The following links are representative of the additional information available:

• Why not Chemical Engineering?
• The history of chemical engineering, by Wayne Pafko
• The chemical engineer's resource centre
• Chemical Engineering magazine
• WWW Virtual Library: Chemistry
