Chemical Engineering

Arguing with an Engineer is a lot like wrestling in the mud with a pig, after a couple of hours you realize the pig likes it.

Chemical engineers turn raw feedstock into products a civilization runs on — fuels, medicines, materials, water — by engineering the process, not just the chemistry. The work sits between a reaction that works in a beaker and a plant that runs continuously and safely for decades, at a scale where small errors carry large consequences. In refining, that means converting crude oil into the fuels and intermediates nearly everything else depends on.
