Chemical engineering is a bright career option for all those students who are yet to join in the engineering stream and even for diploma-level education, it has wide importance for job placements in research, petroleum refining industries, petrochemical industries, pharmaceutical, food and beverages, defense, chemical weapon technology centers, nuclear plants, power plants, fertilizer plants it does not stop with that a higher pay and higher rank categorized jobs in pollution control, oil exploration, government agencies are available for a chemical engineer. The chemical engineering course is the latest and adapts every stream of other engineering branches like mechanical, electrical and electronic, biochemical, microbiology, computer science, etc.. A basic platform of chemistry, physics and mathematics is to be mastered by the student who wants to choose chemical engineering.
An Advanced topic like fluid mechanics, mass transfer, heat transfer, thermodynamics, transport phenomenon, chemical reaction engineering and instrumentation, and process control are discussed in the course and some of the topics such as process modeling and simulation, computational fluid dynamics and chemical engineering economics are added up as per the changes in new technologies. Post-graduation and PhD degree holders of chemical engineering are highly preferred for the post of plant in-charge and directors to the research departments and continuously operated petrochemical plants. Software skill adds more importance to a chemical engineer, which is demanded by design, simulation, and consultancy industries.
The software’s like COMSOL, MATLAB, ASPEN PLUS and Fluent are been used as chemical engineering tools. Process dynamics and control is the subject included in instrumentation engineering which is very important in designing the automation process control systems for the unit operations and the unit process of the chemical industry. An outline of chemical process principles, chemical technology, and optimization are included in the duration of the course.
