What is Chemical Engineering?

June 3, 2023 @ 6:30 am 7:30 am CDT

ABOUT THE TALK

My fond memory was the 1st project I saw through the whole project cycle – development , design, fabrication, installation. commissioning and operation. I had been working 4-5 years when this started so it was around the time I became a Chartered Engineer. The project involved a design review, process investigation, equipment design and specification of the upgraded facilities, specification of the control and safeguarding scheme and drafting of operating instructions. It touches on Mass Transfer, Heat Transfer, Fluid flow and a little chemistry thrown.

The talk will cover:

  • How chemical Engineering impacts our daily lives
  • A simple “process” you may be familiar with
  • What can happen when things go wrong with a complex process
  • My Career Journey
