overview : Chemical engineers are involved in the application of the principles of chemistry and engineering in the production or use of chemicals and other products. Chemicals are present in our daily lives from the food we eat to the plastics we use for various purposes. Some chemical engineers may make new process designs and may invent new processes for the mass productions of certain chemicals. Some operate plant and machinery. Chemical engineers have helped develop atomic science, polymers, paper, dyes, drugs, plastics, fertilizers, foods, textiles, and chemicals. They also devise ways to make useful production from one or several raw materials and make the manufacturing processes more economical, efficient and more environmental friendly.
JOB DESCRIPTION : Chemicals play an important part in our everyday lives. We use chemicals and their derivatives in almost all the stages everyday and make use of them to make our life easier and simpler. From the fertilizers that are employed in food production to the materials we take for granted like nylon and others are all the products given to us by chemical engineers. Chemical engineers devise ways and means to mass produce these chemicals and their derivatives which we use in our everyday lives and make sure that that their production is efficient and economical.
Chemical engineers work in manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, design and construction, pulp and paper, petrochemicals, food processing, specialty chemicals, polymers, biotechnology, and environmental health and safety industries, among others. Some chemical engineers might specialize in a certain process such as polymerization or oxidation. Others may specialize in a particular field, such as nano-materials or developing certain products which also has application and knowledge of biology in them.
JOB OUTLOOK : According to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there would be a growth in the number of chemical engineering jobs by 6% from 2010 to 2020. There may be good opportunities in the research and development fields and in other service industries like scientific and technical industries. You may need at least to have a graduate degree to have an edge in research related jobs.
DEGREES OFFERED : Associates -Bachelor's -Master's -Doctorate/PhD -Certificate
SALARY : Occupation Chemical Engineers
ELE Bachelor' degree
MAW(2010) $90,300
EOL (10%) $56,520
EOH (10%) $139,670
SOURCE : U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS
EXPECTED JOB GROWTH : According to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment for chemical engineers is going to grow at 6%, slower than average for all occupations from 2010 to 2020. Overall employment in the chemical manufacturing industry is expected to continue to decline, although chemical companies will continue to employ chemical engineers to research and develop new chemicals and more efficient processes to increase output of existing chemicals. However, there will be employment growth for chemical engineers in service-providing industries, such as professional, scientific, and technical services, particularly for research in energy and the developing fields of biotechnology and nanotechnology. The median annual salary of a chemical engineer in May 2010 was $90,300.
