"Tomorrow's
chemical engineer will need to display a range of talents, knowledge,
and interests that extend beyond traditional engineering capabilities;
that will allow chemical engineers to leverage traditional skills with
future opportunities."
"Chemical Engineers
are experienced at integrating a range of scientific disciplines, including
biotechnology, micro-electronics, and advanced materials - a vital skill
for success in the complex business environment."
"Chemical engineers
are particularly well positioned to capitalize on the effects of globalization,
which offers the process industries unprecedented opportunities to prosper."
(Adapted from the AIChE report The Global Environment
for Chemical Engineers)
