An Engineer, a good practicing one, maintains a balanced perspective between theoretical and empirical information to be effective.

Chemical Engineering is much more than just applied science and math. Although science and math are important tools of the trade, it is the ChemEs ability to use these tools, and others, along with considerable judgment and experiment to make shit work. A key aspect of judgment and experience is the ability to organize and utilize information obtained from one system and apply it to analyze or design similar systems on a dierent scale.
