Chemical engineer

In the field of engineering, a chemical engineer is the profession in which one works principally in the chemical industry to convert basic raw materials into a variety of products, and deals with the design and operation of plants and equipment to perform such work. The term appeared in print in 1839, though from the context it suggests a person with mechanical engineering knowledge working in the chemical industry. According to a 2011 salary survey by the American Institution of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), the median annual salary for a chemical engineer was approximately $110,000. [9] In one salary survey, chemical engineering was found to be highest-paying degree for first employment of college graduates. Chemical engineering has been successively ranked in the Top 2 places in the Most Lucrative Degrees Survey by CNN Money in the United States of America.
