Engineers whose defining technological contribution is an industrial chemical process or product: explosives, rubber, plastics and the process-industry methods that scale a chemical reaction to factory volume. Belongs here: George E. Davis as the discipline's own founder, Herbert Henry Dow for industrial bromine and chlorine extraction, Alfred Nobel for dynamite, and Charles Goodyear and Thomas Hancock for vulcanized rubber. Does not belong here: the physical shaping or assembly of a finished part, grouped under Mechanical Engineering, even where the part is made from a chemically engineered material.
