Chemical engineering interviews assess your understanding of process design, thermodynamics, and unit operations alongside practical skills in plant operations and safety. Expect questions covering reaction kinetics, mass and energy balances, separation processes, and process control, as well as regulatory compliance and environmental considerations. Success requires demonstrating both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience with process optimization and troubleshooting.
