Reviews

The text content is integrated with simple introductions to specific concepts, descriptive pictures and portraits. It is a beautiful, articulate, persuasive way to sell our profession to young people exploring career paths... I would have jumped into this discipline with greater anticipation and confidence if I had read it as a 15-17 year old student! - Marylee Z. Southard, Ph.D, Associate Professor, Chemical & Petroleum Engineering, University of Kansas

I would have jumped into this discipline with greater anticipation and confidence if I had read it as a 15-17 year old student! - Marylee Z. Southard, Ph.D, Associate Professor, Chemical & Petroleum Engineering, University of Kansas Careers in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering provides an excellent introduction to chemical engineering that will be highly valuable... The book highlights the significant contributions and achievements of the profession and grand challenges for the future, which is inspiring for both future and current chemical engineers. As such, it will be a welcome addition to the libraries of both. I would have loved to have seen a book such as this earlier in my career, as the perspectives and breadth of opportunities presented can be quite helpful in making career choices! Certainly, the book fills a need in describing careers and career opportunities for the chemical engineering profession. - Joseph B. Powell, Ph.D., Shell

This book is a combination of a) an introduction to the discipline of chemical engineering (with biological applications), and b) career guidance through the stories, experiences and words of 25 engineers educated in the discipline. Most are practicing or teaching the profession, and a few have used their undergraduate education to launch into other areas (e.g. law, medicine).
