Well Chemical Engineering itself isn't as chemistry-intensive as it sounds. I remember reading that the best way to explain it is to see it as "Mechanical Engineering with a bit of Chemistry". So the modules are usually the applied maths/physics sort of thing (what engineering usually involves) But you would have some other modules on chemistry. Probably not much on organic but more on stuff like reaction rates, equilibrium etc...

Hmmm what don't you like about physics? I thought I didn't like physics until I got to apply it in the ChemEng field. It links nicely with chemistry and maths -

Would you say that someone who did Chemistry & Maths only would be at a disadvantage when starting ChemEng? -
