Personal Statement: A Career As A Chemical Engineer

Career as a Chemical Engineer

If you were to never look up the definition of chemical engineering you would still have a slightly basic idea of what they deal with: chemistry and engineering. This is one of the main reasons why I want a career in chemical engineering. I have been fascinated with studying in a field of science for as long as I can remember. At first I only planned on majoring in chemistry, but as I grew older and learned more about math and science I decided that chemical engineering is what I actually want to major in and work with until I retire.

There are many different ways I can help people by being a chemical engineer. Chemical engineers work in various fields that can include tasks such as making sure that a production

People who have majored in chemical engineering don’t always become engineers. Instead some jobs that they end up doing instead are energy engineer, nuclear engineer, petroleum engineer, and process development scientist since these are directly related to a chemical engineering degree. Some jobs where the degree would be more useful to have are analytical chemist, energy manager, manufacturing engineer, materials engineer, mining engineer, production manager, and quality manager.

People who actually become chemical engineers usually focus on researching, developing, and designing chemical productions. They also test product techniques and materials and may use computer models to figure out the efficiency of a product, or a person may end up managing equipment, overseeing and conducting the disposal of chemical waste, and handling inspections. The longer an individual works at a company the more managing roles he or she acquires such as training new employees and making sure all the chemical products adhere to the health, environmental, and safety principles. Typically chemical engineers work between thirty-five and forty hours a week from nine to

From producing genetically engineered food that we eat to helping make new phones, to manufacturing things such as dyes, plastics, and fertilizers. I also learned that people who are chemical engineers and people who have a degree in chemical engineering can have different jobs. I originally thought that if you got a degree in chemical engineering that meant you were going to become a chemical engineer. This field is the exact thing that I want to do so it can help me fuel my passion for life by being a goal that I have to meet. Since it’s a goal that I have to and want to meet it will boost my resolve to succeed in school and beyond onto to college and a job. I will be working hard to meet my objective and will still be working diligently even when I meet it so that I can uphold the reputation I will have built.

After researching this field, I did realize that I may not be as cut out for it as I first thought, but that only means that I will have to work harder to achieve what I want which is okay since I am still interested in pursuing this career. The reason why I am still interested in pursuing this field is because even though there is a lot more math and social skills involved than what I originally thought, I still feel like this is the career I want to do. This is what I want to spend the next 50 years or so being a part
