Chemical engineers use the principles of science, such as chemistry, biology, and physics, and mathematics to solve problems that involve the production or use of chemicals, fuel, drugs, food, and many other products.

It just fascinates me how people can use science to solve some of the biggest problems within the world today. It makes me wonder how the development of new technologies can help save millions of lives. Chemical engineering may not seem that big, but it is fundamental to the development of the society we live in today, it changes the way we live, and we cannot function without it. They help protect us and that is why I want to be a chemical engineer.

George E. Davis

Davis identified commonalities in chemical factories and wrote A Handbook of Chemical Engineering.

He published a lecture series of 12 lectures, given at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology.

These lectures defined Chemical Engineering as a discipline.

Regarded as the father of Chemical Engineering

His lectures helped introduce Chemical engineering in the second industrial revolution. His lectures eventually traveled to America, where they became some of the principle ideals in Chemical engineering and inspired some of the most prestigious colleges to start their own Chemical Engineer courses.

I will be working in a laboratory. The laboratory will most likely will belong to a corporation that represents multiple products or has multiple different types of industries industries.

In the laboratory, I will be testing new materials and products of companies and I will be researching new methods of energy that will help the world.

Pros:

Really good pay and Benefits

Very stimulating “ non boring” work

Ability to contribute to society

Cons:

Current Poor job prospects

Dangerous working conditions

Not a lot of free time

One change that I anticipate will come in the future is the opening of new fields for chemical engineers. Due to the creation of new technologies and new energy sources, the demand for  chemical engineers will surely increase.
