Synopsis
The scope of opportunities in chemical and biomolecular engineering has grown tremendously in recent years. Careers in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering conveys the breadth and depth of today's chemical and biomolecular engineering practice, and describes the intellectually enriching, socially conscious and financially lucrative opportunities available for such graduates in an ever-widening array of industries and applications. This book aims to help students interested in studying chemical engineering and biomolecular engineering to understand the many potential career pathways that are available in these dynamic fields - and is an indispensable resource for the parents, teachers, advisors and guidance counselors who support them, In addition to 10 chapters that discuss the roles such graduates play in many diverse industries, this book also features 25 Profile articles that share in-depth, first-person insight from industry-leading chemical and biomolecular engineers. These technical professionals discuss their work and educational experiences (in terms of both triumphs and challenges), and share wisdom and recommendations for students pursuing these two dynamic engineering disciplines.

"This book is a combination of

a) an introduction to the discipline of chemical engineering (with biological applications), and

b) career guidance through the stories, experiences and words of 25 engineers educated in the discipline. Most are practicing or teaching the profession, and a few have used their undergraduate education to launch into other areas (e.g. law, medicine).

The text content is integrated with simple introductions to specific concepts, descriptive pictures and portraits. It is a beautiful, articulate, persuasive way to sell our profession to young people exploring career paths....the book is truly inspiring. I would have jumped into this discipline with greater anticipation and confidence if I had read it as a 15-17 year old student!"

- Marylee Z. Southard, Ph.D, Associate Professor, Chemical & Petroleum Engineering, University of Kansas

"Careers in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering provides an excellent introduction to chemical engineering that will be highly valuable... The book highlights the significant contributions and achievements of the profession and grand challenges for the future, which is inspiring for both future and current chemical engineers. As such, it will be a welcome addition to the libraries of both. I would have loved to have seen a book such as this earlier in my career, as the perspectives and breadth of opportunities presented can be quite helpful in making career choices! Certainly, the book fills a need in describing careers and career opportunities for the chemical engineering profession."
