Chemical Engineering Undergraduate Program Department of Chemical Engineering Dr. Abdallah Sofiane Berrouk Freshman Seminar Series 09 November 2013

 An engineering discipline that combines chemistry, physics and mathematics to transform raw materials or energy into forms useful for mankind, economically and without compromising environment, safety, or finite resources. The transformation can be chemical, biological or physical depending on the process. Mathematics Chemistry Physics Biology Economics Oil and Natural Gas Air Coal Energy Minerals Convert raw materials to useful products and improve the human environment

 Like all engineers, chemical engineers use math, physics, and economics to solve technical problems. The difference between chemical engineers and other types of engineers is that they apply a knowledge of chemistry in addition to other engineering disciplines. Chemical engineers sometimes are called 'universal engineers' because their scientific and technical mastery is so broad.  The chemical engineering program at the Petroleum Institute focuses on the training of oil-, gas- and petrochemical-oriented Chemical Engineer

 We separate things that are mixed. Distillation, absorption, extraction, gravity separation, floatation etc.  We mix things that are separated. Stirred tanks, twins crew extruders, blenders, inline mixers etc.  We change things from one form to another. Reactors, CSTRs, Plug flow reactors, fluidized bed reactors etc.

 We evolved from industrial chemists in early 1900s.  We evolved into chemical engineering scientists – 1950s  We embraced computers to analyze chemical processes – 1980s
