These are the people who are going to contribute to the chemistry textbooks of the future. When my friend took admission in this branch I thought eventually he is going to end up doing titration his entire life. I expected blackboards filled with chemical reactions, people doing titrations in laboratories with glass bottles full of colourful chemicals, surrounded with pungent odour of the gases floating around.

Reality

There is a lot more to chemical engineering than just chemistry. Let’s explain it with an equation:

Many of my friends took up chemical engineering just because they used to love chemistry and hate maths and physics only to find out that it is impossible to study chemical engineering without maths and physics.

Chemical engineer will not be just doing titration in a lab. You as a chemical engineer will design production units for chemicals. Then you need to supervise the construction of the production units, making sure each and every machinery being set up is up to the standards. Once a unit is set up, you have to ensure proper conditions (like temperature, pressure in reactors) are maintained for successful production, control the input and output quantity at every step of the process. You will be indirectly responsible for everyone’s safety in the unit. If your workers complain of rising temperature in reactors, you need to troubleshoot the issue. You will also work on process improvements and up gradation.
