===Plant design and construction=== Chemical engineering design concerns the creation of plans, specifications, and economic analyses for [[pilot plant]]s, new plants, or plant modifications. Design engineers often work in a consulting role, designing plants to meet clients' needs. Design is limited by several factors, including funding, government regulations, and safety standards. These constraints dictate a plant's choice of process, [[Chemical reactor materials selection|materials]], and equipment.{{sfn|Towler|Sinnott|2008|pp=2β3}} Plant construction is coordinated by [[project engineering|project engineers]] and project managers,<ref>Herbst, Andrew; Hans Verwijs (Oct. 19-22). "Project Engineering: Interdisciplinary Coordination and Overall Engineering Quality Control". Proc. of the Annual IAC conference of the American Society for Engineering Management 1 ({{ISBN|9781618393616}}): 15β21</ref> depending on the size of the investment. A chemical engineer may do the job of project engineer full-time or part of the time, which requires additional training and job skills or act as a consultant to the project group. In the USA the education of chemical engineering graduates from the Baccalaureate programs accredited by [[ABET]] do not usually stress project engineering education, which can be obtained by specialized training, as electives, or from [[graduate programs]]. Project engineering jobs are some of the largest employers for chemical engineers.<ref>{{cite web|title=What Do Chemical Engineers Do?|url=http://chemistry.about.com/od/chemistrystudentfaqs/f/chemeng.htm|access-date=2015-08-23|archive-date=2014-05-02|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140502004955/http://chemistry.about.com/od/chemistrystudentfaqs/f/chemeng.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref>
