Chemical engineering

time I was introduced to the fascinating field of Chemical Engineering and the idea of pursuing the road…

Engineering, it is a profession that requires one to think creatively: forcing one to leave a comfort zone into the perplexing; while it may be daunting, it excites me. I have studied chemical engineering as an undergraduate and there was never a dull moment, I enjoyed it to the fullest. However, I have innate enthusiasm in Flow Physics and Computational Engineering, a specialty in mechanical engineering in which I plan to pursue. My fondness of it enhanced because of my professional and…

This society has a huge amount of demand for engineers that are capable and determined to change the world and make it a safer place for anyone and everyone. It was difficult to chose a career that is promising for my future, since my options were limited and in the end of the long road I end up striving for Chemical Engineer. My decision was based off of many different reason, the greatest being my childhood life. The global demands for occupations such as chemical engineering keeps on…

“Chemical engineering is a branch of engineering that applies physical sciences (e.g. chemistry and physics) and life sciences (e.g. biology, microbiology and biochemistry) together with mathematics and economics to produce, transform, transport, and properly use chemicals, materials and energy (Cohen, 1996).” The field of chemical engineering is very diverse, covering areas from biotechnology to mineral processing. It would take too long to list all the products that are impacted by chemical…

Chemical Engineering From all of the engineering fields, I decided to pursue a chemical engineering degree because of its ample area of study. Chemical engineers not only work evaluating and optimizing chemical processes, but also they must analyze production costs and develop reports according to the data they obtain (“Occupation”). As soon as I finished high school, I was interested in studying Chemistry; I wanted to research and experiment. Then, it was when I learned about the engineering…

Like any other engineering disciple, chemical engineers are deeply interested in bettering the world through innovation. They seek translate their knowledge in mathematics, science, economics and even social insight into actions, and aim to invent, design and construct new perspectives and concepts to tackle the problems we face in the world today. Many tend to associate the term ‘chemical engineer’ with huge process plants and chemical reactors. Whilst this is not an inaccurate reflection of a…

Chemical Engineering While searching for a major and trying to figure out what to do with your life, it is likely that you will come across someone supporting more people in STEM careers. Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics covers a very wide range of education and job opportunities. People who apply these disciplines in their careers are on the frontlines of American technological innovation. Chemical engineering is one of these STEM courses. In short, chemical engineers use…

Engineering is one of the most sought after and highly paid professions in the US. People consider those who obtain a degree in any engineering field as highly intellectual minds and skilled professionals. Engineering is a tough field which demands a lot of effort hard work from the students but as soon as they are awarded degrees, a world of opportunities comes to their doorstep. If you are a student who aspires to become an engineer, you need to study the right subjects at high school to get…

Chemical engineers will often collaborate with various other types of engineers such as mechanical, electrical and structural engineers; as well as, plant managers, technicians, and executives. When asked which communication skill he wished his university would have stressed more, Hannigan replied with, “Inter-disciplinary. How to talk to people who are not engineers.” It is key for chemical engineers to be able to communicate ideas across all levels of expertise to ensure that a project is…

plan out how you will do so. While pouring from a cup can be explained in a very basic way, there are more complex versions of liquid transfer as well. Furthermore, if you are not pouring water but a more valuable resource instead, It becomes obvious that a deeper look is needed to prevent waste. This is where the job begins for the chemical engineer. Often times a chemical engineer may oversee the construction of a small scale chemical mixing unit, pipeline, or other means of…
