Pros And Cons Of Chemical Engineering

When I was in my high-school, I discovered that I am more into science and mathematics. I already knew that I wanted to be an engineer, but I did not know which type of engineering in particular! I have not thought much about this because students usually decide after they finish their first year in the university. I applied to many universities and scholarships after I graduated from high-school. Fortunately, one of the best scholarship from an oil company accepted me; however, in this scholarship, they are the ones who decide which type of engineering you will be studying, not you! Anyway, they will give you a list and let you choose some majors and let you choose from them. I successfully completed all the required steps, and Chemical Engineering was assigned to me. Chemical engineering was not my first preference in the list, so I was really undecided whether I should continue with them or not. I could have gone to a university that would let me study the major that I thought I wanted to study -which was computer engineering. I thought a lot about it, and consulted some friends and relatives, and asked …show more content…

After a small search, I found that chemical engineers somewhat do what chemists do but in a large scale, which will promote some problems that does not exist in the small lab. And this is what engineers do in general -problem solving. Samantha Tyson (1) says “Chemical engineering is all about turning raw materials into useful, everyday products” I became aware that chemical engineers do essential jobs in energy production plants, pharmaceutical industries, gas and petroleum production and purification, and water sanitation, ...etc. Consequently, since these days living without the aforementioned resources is almost impossible, chemical engineering is a hugely important profession, and by being a chemical engineer I am really helping people even if it was in an indirect
