Chemistry degrees chemical engineering

Careers which interrelate chemistry and the law are not as unusual as one might suspect. A person may obtain a degree in chemistry or chemical engineering to pursue a life-long career as a chemist or chemical engineer. Sometimes, however, he finds that a career in chemistry does not provide him with the satisfactions he anticipated. He may desire a career that involves more contact with people and less direct contact with chemistry. This sequence of changes in career objectives often leads to a desire to pursue the practice of law. 

Wolf-Dieter Deckwer studied chemistry and chemical engineering at the Technical University Berlin and in 1973 obtained his PhD degree in the Institute of Technical Chemistry at the same University. After his promotion he stayed in this institute and received the permission of teaching (Habilitation) in 1975. 

Thus what might be called the premier reward structure for American scientists and engineers, academic or otherwise, does not seem to be working very well for women chemists and chemical engineers. Of the many thousands who have earned degrees in chemistry and chemical engineering, hardly any are being elected to the top honors in the land. 

You were talking about people at the entry level—let s call it the bachelor s-degree level—that industry pulls out of the pipeline into industrial positions in chemistry, the people that you are actively recruiting. If you don t hire those people at the entry level, and if your counterparts in industry don t hire them for a chemistry position, what do those bachelor s degree graduates in chemistry and chemical engineering do Do you have any idea ...

The course covered a really broad range of subjects from organic chemistry and chemical engineering through to intellectual property and how to set up a business. It was great to have that overview of lots of different areas that are really important but aren t given much attention in most science degrees. (Will Soutter, 2010-2011 MSc cohort) ... 

The path to a career in electrometallurgy is through a bachelor s or master s degree in chemistry or chemical engineering, although careers in research require a doctorate. The course work involves a thorough grounding in physical science... 

Any master of engineering or doctoral degree in chemistry or chemical engineering serves as good preparation for a top-level career. A doctorate in a science field can lead to an advanced research position either with a company or a government agency. A research career linked to the subject of gasoline production, whether at a university, institute, or corporation, also benefits from postdoctoral work in chemistry or materials science. 

For a career in petroleum processing at a refinery or petrochemical plant, a bachelor of science in chemistry or a related field is a good foundation. A master s or doctoral degree in chemistry or chemical engineering, as well as in mechanical, environmental, or control engineering, will serve for an advanced position.
