The contribution of Chemical Engineers is a part of everyone’s life from dawn to dusk and from birth to death. The Chemical Industry is large and lucrative & globally it employees approximately 20% people. While the Enterprise is global, its market distribution is dominated by Asia Pacific with 28%. On the production side, the distribution of manufacturing sites has fluctuated noticeably, especially in the recent years and the sharpest increases in number of new plant projects have occurred in Asia Pacific (up 33%), clearly the industry is migrating to regions with the fastest growing markets.
Consequently, there is a need for well educated, well-rounded chemical engineers, who are depicted as “The Successful Chemical Engineer of Tomorrow.” The technological solutions of future generation obviously require the expertise of the chemical engineering profession. Overall, the discipline of Chemical Engineering offers a broad scope of opportunities in Process Design and Engineering, Chemical Plant Erection and Commissioning as well as in Research & Development activities, etc.
