Contrary to what you've just said, Chemical Engineering is actually very Chemistry based. This is one of the fields which is very close to the pure sciences. Most people think that classes like Material and Energy balances as well as Process Thermodynamics are Physics based, but in reality, these are very close to chemistry, intertwined with physics.
compared to what a chemist studies very little, that is what people who have done Chm Eng have told me, foreign university students not Paki university students... in Paki universities the variety in courses being taught is very limited so that could be a factor ... the emphasis and application is different in Chem Engin as they told me... generally, at-least in my day the perception of A-level students was that Chm Eng will be loaded with chemistry ... but then again in foreign universities there are many different courses so i guess apart from studying the basic chemistry you can then choose whether you want to study more chem or less .... just look at the MIT open course ware and then decide yourself .. there are tons of other resources out there
