I'm a student in chemical engineering and we use derivatives all the time. Basically we use them to measure how a system changes with time. Like in a chemical reaction of say, oxygen+hydrogen goes to water, we can use the derivative of the rate equation to measure how long it will take for a certain percentage of the reactants to be turned into products. This is vital for industrial processes.
