What is Chemical Engineering?

This lecture was given as part of the Introduction to Engineering and Design course at NYU Tandon School of Engineering.

In this video, I explore the development of chemical engineering as a growing need arose for mass production of material goods.
I further explore many of the facets that make up chemical engineering, including nanotechnology, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, personal care, industrial food and beverage production, semiconductor fabrication, and others.

There is also a short overview of a typical chemical engineering curriculum and its culmination with the capstone design course.
