Chemical Engineering

  • Under what engineering category do you fall?
I fall under the 'Chemical' category for engineering.

  • How do you help the people in your community?
I help the people in my community by developing "economic ventures for your community. You might also work with a local manufacturing firm to ensure its processes do no harm to the environment." 

  • Have specific examples of what you do?
Specific examples of what I do are: creating fade-resistant dyes for clothing, creating dye for toothpaste, and making sure factories don't pollute our water or food. 

  • What aptitudes are needed to become this particular type of engineer?
Aptitudes needed to become this particular type of engineer are:
  • Problem-solving.

  • Being creative.

  • Inventing new things.

  • Making discoveries.

  • Chemistry.

  • Helping others.
  • What do you do?


  • How much money do you make?
I can make about "72000 and 108000 based on tenure level." The highest I would make is in Alaska, where I could get about $125820.
  • What do you study?
I study Biology, Calculus, Computer Science, Electronics, Engineering, Environmental Engineering, General Chemistry, Geometry, Materials, Mechanics, Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Physics, Reactor Design, Reactor Kinetics, Statistics, Thermodynamics.(See: Chemical Engineering Courses | What Courses Do Chemical Engineering Students Take?)
  • Which companies would hire you?
Companies that would hire me would be L'Oreal, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Marathon Oil Company, Marathon Petroleum Company LP, Abbott Laboratories, Altarum, ATK Thiokol, O-I, Peace Corps, Cook Nuclear Plant, and more.






    • Who would be your teammates?
    I would work with professionals who design and test "manufacturing equipment". 

    • How many hours would you work?
    I would work for eight hours a day, meaning that one whole week would mean I work for 56 hrs.
    • Where can you work?
    I can work in many industries that have a wide range of services, employees, and products (See: Where Do Chemical Engineers Work?). 
    • How many people do you work with?

    I will work with as many as necessary to get the task done.
    • What kind of work environment do you work in?

    I work MOSTLY in offices or laboratories, though I spend some time in plants making sure that they don't harm the environment.

    Weekly Blog Post - Asteroid Impact in "Alabraska"

    Image
    Summary:  During this week, I worked on a few worksheets for our Asteroid Impact which was in the imaginary state of Alabraska. When we did this, I calculated the general area for Alabraska, in which the length was 150 km and the width was 230 km, giving me a sum of 34,500 km 2 . After that, I compared the size of Alabraska to the size of the multiple caverns my group and I decided to establish underneath the surface of Alabraska. After that, I scaled my general map of Alabraska, including the military base, and then decided that our cavern was not large enough to house 10 million people. EDP - Generate Possible Solutions Over the course of the week, I generated possible solutions by completing a worksheet and making graphs to figure out how many people would be able to fit into our classroom. After that, I used the information to help me. I generated more possible solutions when I came up with different scenarios to help us decide on more areas in case our first...

    Weekly Blog Post - Paper Mache

    Image
    Summary:  During this week, I put paper mache all over our box to represent our cavern (to make the glue, just put one part flour and one part water). I covered our box in saran wrap and Ziploc bags (we didn't have saran wrap at first) before dipping the torn up newspaper and then putting it on top of our box.  EDP: GENERATE POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS I generated possible solutions when our group didn't have saran wrap and so I improvised by tearing apart some Ziploc bags (like a psycho, I might add) and then plastering them onto the box with some tape.  Image Link: Ziploc Bags

    Engineering Project Blog - Engineering Design Process (Own Arrangement)

    Image
    Summary:  During this week, we were told to make our arrangement of the Engineering Design Process that would be used for the rest of the school year and for future projects in our Engineering class. I learned that the Engineering Design Process didn't have to be in a specific order.  Backward-Looking: What process did you go through to produce this piece?   The process that I had to go through in order to produce this piece was first to identify the steps of the EDP in a video. After that was completed, I had to determine the S&EP practices along with pieces of text (S&EP - Science & Engineering Practices). Once that was out of my way, I got started on my Engineering Design Process arrangement. Then, I finished, When I finished, I revised my arrangement then decided to move some things around, just so it would make more sense. After that, I put in the link to this blog for the picture. Inward-Looking: What was especially satisfying to yo...
