Abstract
Chemical Engineering as such has a little more than a hundred years of existence. During this time, his development has generated research, data and books which made innovations in the curriculum and new paradigms in education. The development of this discipline has influenced the creation or modification of others such as Environmental Engineering, Food Engineering, Electrochemical Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, etc. The future presents new challenges and opportunities for development in the area of biofuels, nanotechnology and climate control.
