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 anywhere from $35,000 to......
