Chemical Engineering in RV College of Engineering

Chemical Engineering:

Chemical engineering is all about turning raw materials into useful, everyday products. The clothes we wear, the food and drink we consume and the energy we use all depend upon chemical engineering. Chemical engineers work out the processes to make all these products, while also helping to manage the world's resources, protect the environment and ensure health and safety standards are met.

Chemical engineering is a discipline influencing numerous areas of technology. In broad terms, chemical engineers conceive and design processes to produce, transform and transport materials — beginning with experimentation in the laboratory followed by implementation of the technology in full-scale production.

Chemical engineers bridge sciences and manufacturing by applying the principles of science and engineering, especially chemistry, physics, biochemistry, applied mathematics, and mechanical and electrical engineering, to solve problems involving the production or use of chemicals. In so doing, they create and improve upon products and processes.

Skills required for success in this field include the following:

Active learning
Communication skills
Computer skills
Critical thinking
Higher education
Knowledge of up-to-date practices
Operation monitoring
Operations analysis
Teamwork skills
Testing

Career Prospects of a Chemical Engineer:

Chemical engineers are in great demand because of the large number of industries that depend on the synthesis and processing of chemicals and materials. In addition to traditional careers in the chemical, energy and oil industries, chemical engineers enjoy increasing opportunities in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, electronic device fabrication and environmental engineering. The unique training of the chemical engineer becomes essential in these areas when processes involve the chemical or physical transformation of matter.

Chemical engineers apply the principles of chemistry, biology, physics, and math to solve problems that involve the production or use of chemicals, fuel, drugs, food, and many other products. They design processes and equipment for large-scale safe and sustainable manufacturing, plan and test methods of manufacturing products and treating by products, and supervise production.
