Going to the NCSU Engineering Career Fair was both an intimidating and exciting experience. As a freshman with a Chemical Engineering Intent looking at companies, I was very intimidated yet intrigued by the mass amount of companies represented at the career fair. Investigating the companies prior to the career fair, I narrowed my list down to three chemical engineering companies: EcoLab, Merck, and GSK.

In order to study the radioactivity of thorium, Soddy and Rutherford preformed an experiment in which ammonia was added to a solution of thorium and thorium hydroxide was precipitated out. This observation eventually led to the discovery of the radioactive properties found within the remaining solution. Both scientists then concluded that this was an outcome of a highly radioactive compound known as thorium-X. Using these experimental observations, a series of detailed testing was preformed regarding the radioactive behavior of the precipitate and remaining solution. Over the course of a few weeks, it became evident that radioactive decay is an effect of a variety of chemical reactions occurring inside the atom. Additional evidence that supported

My parents met while working in their town’s chemical factory. They never thought much about the side effects of working with chemicals all day until they had me. When I was born I weighed fifteen pounds and was already able to walk and talk. As soon as my mom and dad realized that I was different, they took me home and kept me away from the world. They were so afraid that I would be taken away and dissected like a frog in a lab.

According to IBISWorld’s analysis, industry profitability was around 6.4% as of 2014, and is on the rise. [1]. To understand why industry profitability is currently this way, one must analyze the five forces in the industry.

Chemical engineering is an engineering major with the strongest ties with the molecular science. Chemical Engineering is mainly based on the three pillars, those are design, optimization and controls. If we apply all this basis to living system then it is called as the Biochemical Engineering. Biochemical Engineering which is also called as the, Bioprocessing Engineering deals with the design and construction of the unit processes that include biological molecules such as bioreactors. Biochemical Engineering is a unified knowledge of the principles of both biology and chemical engineering, and it plays a major engineering role in the rapidly developing area of biotechnology. In this thesis, using the creative synthesis methodology the biochemical relationship between Tetracyclines and Polyphenols has been studied.

I am submitting a formal request to have general chemistry 1 autumn semester of 2013, as well as Precalculus spring semester of 2014, removed. In autumn of 2013, I moved back home to Lima, Ohio to take care of my father. I decided that by moving back home with my dad, I would be able to provide for him financially and mentally. Also, I assumed with this new responsibility, stress would be involved, so my plan of action was to take a few classes to continue my education. In Autumn 2013 I enrolled in Latin American History to 1825 and Chemistry 1220. I didn’t fully encompass the responsibilities of taking care of my very ill father and shortly, I became overwhelmed with school. It was one thing after another with my dad not only assisting him to his doctor appointments but cleaning, cooking, working, and the endless nights staying up at the hospital. I didn’t feel defeated just quite yet though; I remained determined to do well in my courses. When things seemed like they were heading in the right direction, somehow things would turn for the worse with my dad. I specifically remember one night trying to work on chemistry and I heard my dad faintly call my name so I head to go see what he wants. To my horror I see my dad on the floor of the bathroom unconscious, the toilet seat was broken with blood and urine everywhere. I was utterly horrified, I called 911 and before they got there I frantically tried to clean him up and carry a 210-pound man down the stairs of a two story

Many industries or facilities in which chemical engineers are located in, work on the translating processes, developed in a lab, into practical applications for the environment and then work to sustain and improve those processes. For example, environmental degradation is the deterioration of the environment through consumption of assets and is one of the major threats that is being fought in modern day. It contaminates many sources of drinking water, releases unwanted toxins into the air and reduces the quality of soil all over the world. Ever since chemical engineering met the challenge of creating a system for chemical technologies at the beginning of the 20th century, technology developed rapidly, science became advanced and the manufacturing age came into view, and pollution came into picture.

Everyday the world of Chemistry is evolving, not only to assist us in understanding the functions of the world around us, but also to assist in improving it. Through their immense research regarding health care, chemists at the University of Oxford have fabricated a new, innovative method to 3D-print laboratory produced cells to create living structures. Such an unprecedented approach to such an issue possesses the capability to permanently revolutionize regenerative medicine, allowing the creation of complex tissues and cartilage that could significantly support, mend or augment diseased or no longer functional parts of the body. Through this discovery, our understanding of the human body alongside its healing process would not only be

This Aspen Plus model simulates the production of acetic acid by low pressure methanol carbonylation in the presence of a heterogeneous rhodium (Rh) catalyst and the promoter methyl iodide. It is intended to resemble the Chiyoda/UOP Acetica™ process, a novel heterogeneous methanol process for the production of acetic acid. This
