Institution of Chemical Engineers

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 field and started to feel appealed by it. Between all specializations that the chemical engineering program has, I believe that the development of new types of energies and the development of polymers are the most interesting fields of the major. On the one hand, the rise of new types of energies is crucial when fossil fuels are no longer available,…

is a study to convince students to either follow what they choose or change their career. Before doing this assignment, I expected chemical engineering is a tough profession in the industry but I found out the academic courses were challenging in terms of classes, high-grade point average, and high level of communication skills. Therefore, I am looking forward hearing from an expert how to be intelligent in an own career field. Chemical engineering is a branch of physical sciences (physics…

WAW was an appropriate source to know the roles of discourse community in my routine life, which I wasn’t aware of. Many times I try to imagine what my future would be like and think about realistic conditions I might experience after graduation in my work as Chemical Engineer. Piyush Limbani is my cousin and is a Chemical Engineer working in his discourse community for over 3 years now. Piyush has a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering and is now in charge of designing and…

Many chemicals such as petroleum are vital to everyday life. We use petroleum products in manufacturing, to heat our homes, get us places, and run engines. The volitability of these chemicals can be catastrophic if not handled properly. This is the case with the T2 Labaratories in Jacksonville, Florida that killed four and wounded thirty-two others. In December 2007, four lives were lost and many other where changed when an explosion occurred at the Jacksonville Florida plant at T2…

What is an engineer? To me an engineer is someone who has the curiosity of how things work and apply that knowledge to solve problems. I believe engineers are people who use math and science to build things we all use. I think anyone can also be an engineer as long as you have the drive to make something better. One career in engineering is being a computer engineer. A computer engineer one who fixes computers and find ways to make them smaller and smarter. Computers engineers…

number that represents the amount of food that is wasted per year on the planet. At the same time, some countries have faced a serious aliment crisis as consequence of the poverty and hunger. By 2075, the world population can reach 9.5 billion people (Institution of Mechanical Engineers, 2013), so, the increase of food production is important to combat that issue. However, before that, food loss reduction is essential in order to avoid excessive costs and save money for governments and…

“We do not own the earth; we borrow it from our children.” I believe this Cherokee saying that I received from an interview with the University of Tennessee 's Dr. Gregory D. Moore truly stands for what an environmental engineer is, yet it does not completely sum up what exactly one is. An environmental engineer is a paid and educated worker for the world who works full-time in multiple environments in order to receive the benefits of protecting the planet for others (Bureau of Labor…

experiences I had in my life. From childhood, I was a very timid person. At school, I focused only on studies and never participated in any other activities. The sole reason being “fear of failing”. But things changed when I was out of the school after matriculation. I was in a more open world where there were challenges for career, for life. I was adamant that I wanted to pursue my studies in the engineering field from any national institute of the country. But to get into these institutions…

cannot completely reduce the large concentrations of CO2 in the thermosphere, but it is indeed a functional process to produce modern chemicals. However, the process to hydrogenate CO2 with good selectivity and long term usage may require energy at high cost. Yuehui and Beller suggest that the intervention of more active and stable catalysts can lower the costs and increase the efficiency of the conversion of CO2 to methanol (CH3OH). Accordingly, they studied the…

• 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…
