Chemical Enginering

Hello james wilkins

And your Question or Point of Discussion is

You seem to have just Copy/Pasted information from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_engineering

Kind Regards....

Yes, we know. Thank you.

Yes, we have it...there are a lot of engineers here, by the way.

Do you have a question?

We are good at questions, you know.

Kind of reminds me of something I read many years ago about how the various engineering disciplines varied. I don't remember them all, but it went like this:

Civil engineering is like looking for a cat in a room.

Mechanical engineering is like looking for a black cat in a room.

Electrical engineering is like looking for a black cat in a dark room.

Chemical engineering is like looking for a black cat in a dark room in which there is no cat.

Now, where's Del?

My personal favorite is (I am a mech eng):

Mechanical engineers build weapons.

Civil engineers build targets.

hai enviroman

i enjoyed ur post

i wish to share another funny defnition

"chemical engineer is the one who talkes chemistry in front of engineer and engineering in front of chemist and philosophy in front of both"

This recall me what I learned at University!!!!

Yes, I learnt about chemical engineering reaction, unitary operations (distillation, absorption...) and many other related things!!!!

So... then... should I be a chemical engineer?

Thank you. It was so many years ago that I had forgotten in what engineering branch I graduated.

Chemical Engineering might be described as the ability to create an answer to a question that was not asked... as in this case

I would sum chemical engineering in 2 words; problem solver

As a chemical Eng. I have spent the majority of my 22yr career in urethane much by accident, process, tooling, chemistry, product engineering and commercial.

i did this last year finally use my Oldshue " Fluid Mixing Technology" book and design a mixing vessel.

i think it has given me tools to go in almost any technical direction that interest pulls

I would be interested in how many ChEs have taken alternative paths then the unit operations?

Hello cbs,

Answering your interest, in 35 years of experience I've taken almost all paths and even formally speaking and according to some diploma hanged in a wall of my working room at home, I'm a ChE. Actually sometimes I feel like a "one man orchestra" because here in the not so developed countries, many companies seems to stop reading in the first word (Engineer, don't forget that in spanish language we put the name first and then the adjective) and regardless your speciality, if you're an Engineer then you're a problem solver.

Kind regards
