CEP出版有关化学工程关键方面的文章：能量传递和转换；环境保护；流体和固体处理；材料；测量和控制；安全；反应和分离；以及专业发展和管理。CEP的编辑重点可以概括为：我们努力出版公正的一般性文章，为执业化学工程师提供某种“操作方法”指导，或概述某种技术。我们寻找的文章集中在一般的化学工程问题或情况和解决这个问题的一般方法，而不是在一个特定的例子中做了什么来解决一个特定的问题。我们更喜欢广泛适用于化工过程工业（CPI）的文章，而不是仅限于许多行业中的一个或几个部分。
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.
