CEP publishes articles on the key aspects of chemical engineering: Energy Transfer and Conversion; Environmental Protection; Fluids and Solids Handling; Materials; Measurement and Control; Safety; Reactions and Separations; as well as Professional Development, and Management. CEP's editorial focus can be summarized as follows: We strive to publish impartial, generic articles that provide some type of "how-to" guidance to the practicing chemical engineer, or an overview of some type of technology. We look for articles that focus on the general chemical engineering problem or situation and the generic method of solving that problem, rather than on what was done in a particular instance to solve a specific problem. We prefer articles that are broadly applicable throughout the chemical process industries (CPI), rather than limited to one or a few of the many industry segments.

CEP出版有關化學工程關鍵方面的文章：能量傳遞和轉換；環境保護；流體和固體處理；材料；測量和控制；安全；反應和分離；以及專業發展和管理。CEP的編輯重點可以概括為：我們努力出版公正的一般性文章，為執業化學工程師提供某種“操作方法”指導，或概述某種技術。我們尋找的文章集中在一般的化學工程問題或情況和解決這個問題的一般方法，而不是在一個特定的例子中做了什么來解決一個特定的問題。我們更喜歡廣泛適用于化工過程工業（CPI）的文章，而不是僅限于許多行業中的一個或幾個部分。
