Chemical Engineer
The chemical engineer is an invaluable link between scientific principles and manufacturing realities. It
involves the use of chemical, physical, and engineering principles.
The scientist in a laboratory does basic research to develop new compounds and processes. When the
scientist discovers a product that may be useful, the chemical engineer takes over. They adapt the
product for big scale manufacturing. They do this by designing a plant to produce the item on large
scale. Thus the engineer is the link between the laboratory and commercial production. The chemical
engineer's earnings depend on several factors. Their educational background dictates much of what
the engineer will earn. Also, experience and the location of the employer will make a very big
difference. The starting salary for a chemical engineer with a Bachelor's Degree can range from
$30,000 to over 35,000 per year. An engineer with a Master's Degree can earn......
