From my perspective you have two options


Transfer to another school with an engineering program. Granted it might be harder since you are late in your school work (Junior) and your GPA isn’t that strong but it’s still do able. Another option but will be longer is graduating and then going after another UG degree–I would avoid this since it’ll be costly and time consuming.
Go for a ChemE Masters–once again you’ll have to find specific programs that will let you apply a Chemistry major and it’ll be hard since your GPA isn’t that strong. However if you take a course option you can probably spent only 1.5-2.5 years and able to get a ChemE masters.
