Career And Higher Studies Opportunities In Chemical Engineering

 

A Chemical Engineer are entrusted to develop reactions, a variety of synthesis pathways for newer products, novel product separation techniques, efficient energy utilization studies, preparation, and analysis of catalysts, enzymes, waste reduction processes, and many more tasks in the research laboratories.

Chemical Engineering is one such profession that beckons many aspirants to one of the highly paid professions with plenty of opportunities in India and abroad. Chemical Engineering is the science that is concerned with the conversion of raw materials into a range of valuable finished products using principles of physics, chemistry, and mathematics. 

Chemical Engineers along with their counterparts from other engineering disciplines work together to plan, design, build, test, operate and troubleshoot mammoth petroleum refineries, complex petrochemical and chemical plants where important commodities such as gasoline, diesel, kerosene, cooking gas, aviation fuel, tar, methane, olefins, aromatics, acids, salts, and many more are manufactured. The prominent inter-disciplinary industries demanding skills of Chemical Engineers comprise environmental, non-conventional energy, bio-chemical, bio-medical, automotive, aerospace, explosives, nuclear energy, nuclear reprocessing, etc. 

These industries call for the expertise of Chemical Engineers to contribute to developing and improving products. From the manufacture of ultra-fast, computer microchips to development in process stream recycle and subsequent reuse of products, treatment of chronic diseases, making wastewater potable, harnessing non-conventional energy technologies and products chemical engineers developed to make this world better place. 

The role of Chemical Engineers is essentially to design these processes, maintaining safe and efficient operation of these plants & machinery, and improve upon them while following environment-friendly, safe and ethical practices. Chemical engineers are thus often termed as ‘Universal Engineers’ owing to their versatile scientific and technical prudence.A Chemical Engineer are entrusted to develop reactions, a variety of synthesis pathways for newer products, novel product separation techniques, efficient energy utilization studies, preparation, and analysis of catalysts, enzymes, waste reduction processes, and many more tasks in the research laboratories.

Chemical engineering is one of the most rewarding branches of engineering. It opens opportunities for chemical engineers in both private as well as government sector. There is a long list naming the openings, read about it in this blog by AISSMS College of Engineering, one of the best engineering college in Pune Career And Higher Studies Opportunities In Chemical Engineering
