What is Chemical Engineering?
Nanotechnology is currently being used to target specific cells or groups of cells for the delivery of medication. These technologies have been on the rise throughout the past several years, and now represent one of the greatest opportunities to develop effective treatment against diseases like cancer. Additionally, this technology reduces the side effects of traditional treatments.
In this context, Industrial Chemical Engineering will have a leading role in bringing these new products to the market safely and efficiently. It is essential that people with your interest and skills maximize their potential. With the proper knowledge and training, you can participate in the testing, research and development of chemical products. Turn your talent into a reality.

Historical Context
3
EXPLOSIVES:
Nitrogen compounds are used to produce explosives. The German war industry suffered cutbacks in nitrogen supplies.
2
FOOD CRISIS:
In the 19th century there were fears of a global food crisis.

AGRICULTURE:
Intensive farming was depleting the soil of nitrogen.
NITROGEN
IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS INVOLVING ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
going
Nitrogen in the atmosphere is abundant. However, it is present in a gaseous form that does not react chemically.
To use atmospheric nitrogen, it must be converted into ammonia.
DISCOVERY:
Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch discovered the process that led to the ammonia synthesis.
