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. EcoLab was the first company I talked to. The company focuses on providing clean water, sustainable

a student of Chemical Engineering, the branch of engineering that is known for its universal approach and whose scope is never ending. Chemical Engineering provides one with ample opportunities to step into any field of one’s choice, research and make the world a better place, be it in the field of petroleum, energy, pharmaceuticals or

food engineering is only but a fraction of a bigger picture which is Chemical Engineering. I wouldn’t be doing justice to narrow myself to one choice. Thus I pursued an exciting career in the world of Chemical Engineering For as long as I can remember, I have been an inquisitive person, always eager to figure things out and find new ways of solving issues. In my additional mathematics class, I would solve the given question in a whole new way. Although

Post-school, I expected to see very little of biology, as I had taken up chemical engineering as my undergraduate major. However, to my surprise, I came across several instances of biology being integrated into the discipline, during the course of my study, and I had a pleasant time learning them. In particular, the biochemical engineering course in my fifth semester appealed to me; it was an exciting experience, studying biology from a chemical engineer’s

I have made an attempt to gain a deeper understanding of these problems. My love and passion for the environment grew as I kept learning and as a student of engineering, I was determined to come up with solutions to these environmental challenges. This is what drove me towards the field of Environmental Engineering. I chose to study Chemical

Pre-Reflection Assignment #1 I will be completing this assignment for Chemical Engineering Lab 1 as an introduction to the writing and formatting process that is expected by Professor Burrows. During this writing, I will work to become familiar with the whole process of the lab report. This will include practicing how to format professional tables and plots, with clear and understandable information and captions. My previous experience with formatting reports in Microsoft Office and utilizing

I will be writing Assignment one for professor Burrows, who is teaching Chemical Engineering Lab One. This assignment is required in order to be successful not only in the class, but also for future publications I might want to pursue. I plan on completing the all tasks required at least a couple days before the deadline in order to avoid any difficulties, as well as revisions. I personally, have a tendency to procrastinate on most assignments, because I have always been able to meet deadlines. The

Significance of work: Recent advances in the fields of synthetic biology and biochemical engineering have been fundamental in progressing the ability of engineers to sustainably and quickly produce specialty chemicals in bioreactors. Using well-characterized microorganisms to generate commodity chemicals is a scalable and cost-effective method for producing a plethora of complex products that are difficult to synthesize chemically. In fact, the workhorses of biology- enzymes- enable high specificity

There are numerous ways to teach a new subject to someone, some strategies work better than others depending on the discipline. Now, I am concluding my final semester of Honours Health Science and will be going to study Chemical engineering at McGill University. Though I do not see myself being a teacher in the near future, I hope that I can continue to tutor people in science-based classes and perhaps one day teach the subject after getting the appropriate degree needed to be a teacher in Higher

My favorite activity that defines who I am, is tutoring. Having the ability to make a difference in the lives of others while building my self confidence and people skills is a rewarding experience. This will be my third year in the Study Buddy program where I tutor elementary school students for free. Noticing a demand at my school for chemistry/math tutors, I moved into the realm of paid tutoring. The money is great, but the biggest payoff is seeing the students I help blossom into their full potential
