Chemical engineer

Laurie Taxiarchou she answered back to a couple of questions asked about being prepared and what it takes. She said “For petroleum engineers a bachelor’s degree in Petroleum Engineering is preferred, but you can also get in with degrees in Mechanical engineering, Chemical engineering, Chemical engineering or Environmental engineering”. Classes required to become an engineer are algebra, trigonometry, calculus, biology, chemistry, and physics (www.bls.gov). Most of these classes you learn in high…

to Merriam Webster an engineer is “a person who has scientific training and who designs and builds complicated products, machines, systems, or structures.” Although most people think of this definition (or one relatively close to it) when they hear “engineer,” I understand it to be more than that. When I think of an engineer, I tend to look at that title through the perspective of the dedication, perseverance, and overall work ethic that that person had to become an engineer. From firsthand…

regulatory body to assess engineers, there are also bodies for specialized fields of engineering. In 1919, the Institute of Engineers Australia (now Engineers Australia) was formed to amalgamate the existing twelve engineering societies across Australia (Encyclopedia of Australian Science 1919). While the Institute pushed for statutory registration of the profession, only the jurisdiction of Queensland passed a legislation to require registration of practicing engineers (Boyce 2003). In other…

this report is to communicate the findings of my interview with Burl Finkelstein, a working engineer, through the use of email, and to learn the importance of quality communication throughout the engineering workplace. This report will e II. Background/Experience: Burl Finkelstein is a professional engineer who is currently working at Kason Industries. Mr. Finkelstein has been working as a professional engineer since 1983. He has had various engineering jobs over the past 50 years and is well…

Engineering work touches on all aspects of everyday life. For this reason engineers are held to a high moral standard. This sense of responsibility and morality should be instilled in engineers from their formation. Gerald McLean focuses on the formative nature of engineering student's ethical instruction in his article, "Integrating Ethics and Design". McLean's purpose for writing this article is to convince the reader that the study of ethics should be integrated in engineering students'…

How to be a great Electrical Engineer --- Analysis on virtue ethics of Electrical Engineers With increasing demands of new technologies, engineers have an essential role in human’s life nowadays. Mechanical engineers, chemical engineers and many other types of engineers are trying their best to bring the best and safest technologies to human society. Among these varieties of engineers, electrical engineers play an important role in numerous fields. An electrical engineer has varieties of…

Communication in Industrial Engineering The world will always need engineers to bring ideas into life, however engineering is not for everyone. Thankfully, there are many different branches of engineering, whether it be mechanical, electrical, chemical, etc. One commonly overlooked is the field of industrial engineering. After I was certain I wanted to go into engineering, I took a good look at all the fields available. I decided that industrial engineering was the best fit for me, but I still…

want to interview any random Engineer because it would not be pertinent to my future career. The few people I would be able to interview that were family friends, were not Electrical Engineers. I knew of a Civil, Chemical, and Mechanical Engineer, none of which I found to fit my assignment. I wanted to specifically interview an Electrical Engineer because they would be able to give me better insight on my desired career. When I began the looking for an Electrical Engineer to interview, I began…

to tinker and build things to see how they worked all throughout my childhood. On the first day of my first engineering class the professor told us characteristics of a good engineer. The first thing she said was engineers are people who like to know how and why things work and that’s when I knew I was going to be an engineer. Engineering is a profession not an occupation that requires a lot of hard work and dedication to science and math. If someone can fight through the rigorous years of…

To be a mechanical engineer one has to learn various system components, from computer programming to power systems, and cover technical subjects, such as fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and hydraulics. They also need to gain a basic understanding of civil, electrical, and chemical engineering. A solid foundation in study techniques and technological applications is needed to identify problems and then come up with effective ways to talk about them. The best mechanical engineers challenge…
