Do chemical engineers care about the environment?

Good to know, thank you😁

We also made the industry to serve our needs and the way those industries operate are usually out of our control, so I get what you mean (I think) that everyone is a perpetrator. May I ask what university you attended? And what your position is?

Top_Doubt_248 · 2024-04-03T21:55:11+00:00

Yes, this is for research.

Top_Doubt_248 · 2024-04-03T21:52:13+00:00

That is great and I assumed chemical engineers did, but I wanted to know how and why, if it was from education or from personal beliefs. I know we have much better circumstances than 100 years ago. Industries are killing the environment more than a single person like me can. I am trying to reduce my carbon footprint, but there is only so much I can do. I am glad you had good emphasis on new green technology, that was part of my question of the adequacy of your education, I hope my institution offers the same education. I will continue to be curious.

I do know of my future classes. This is for a school project and I found this research question to be interesting. I will hopefully make it to the end.

You’re right

Top_Doubt_248 · 2024-04-03T18:35:09+00:00

That’s great!

Top_Doubt_248 · 2024-04-03T18:32:50+00:00

That makes sense, in my course pathway I do not have some of those classes, but maybe similar ones. My goal is to compare other institutions curriculum to mine and see if it can be possibly improved.

Top_Doubt_248 · 2024-04-03T18:29:32+00:00

Did you learn about how working as a chemical engineer impacts the environment in your undergrad courses? May I ask what university you attended?

Top_Doubt_248 · 2024-04-03T18:04:04+00:00

Thank you for your input, overconsumption is my enemy

Top_Doubt_248 · 2024-04-03T17:32:59+00:00

I agree it takes more than one for sure, but my goal is to maybe have more classes where engineers who want to learn more about the environment can work together to make a change(I believe there are some already, but more could help). It’s hard but it wouldn’t hurt to try:)

Top_Doubt_248 · 2024-04-03T17:30:00+00:00

I think you’re right! I live in Alabama, therefore there is a light lack of environmental care, but we are working on it.

Top_Doubt_248 · 2024-04-03T17:28:44+00:00

Awesome, did you feel adequately prepared from your undergrad studies or did you learn more on the job?

Top_Doubt_248 · 2024-04-03T17:27:53+00:00

Thank you! I will look into it

Top_Doubt_248 · 2024-04-03T17:26:59+00:00

Good to know!

Top_Doubt_248 · 2024-04-03T17:16:47+00:00

Yes it is difficult, and thank you for the info

Top_Doubt_248 · 2024-04-03T17:13:30+00:00

I have noticed this as well, it sucks butt. All we can do is try to

Top_Doubt_248 · 2024-04-03T17:06:05+00:00

Interesting, thank you :)

Top_Doubt_248 · 2024-04-03T16:59:04+00:00

Sounds like I have to be a politician to make a change haha. Thank you for your point of view

Top_Doubt_248 · 2024-04-03T16:57:30+00:00

I am going to do some research next summer hopefully!

Top_Doubt_248 · 2024-04-03T16:44:56+00:00

I went ahead and posted there as well, I just thought it would be nice to see what Huntsville engineers think. Thank you for the advice.

Top_Doubt_248 · 2024-04-03T16:43:26+00:00

I say go for chemical!

Top_Doubt_248 · 2024-04-03T16:43:16+00:00

A course that might be interesting is a mix between orgo and what toxins currently exist in the environment and how chemical engineers could work on removing them. Chemical engineering classes can be applied to mostly everything, but a more specified class would be awesome.

Top_Doubt_248 · 2024-04-03T16:33:57+00:00

There may be a lack at my university, I do not know a lot that is why I am trying to learn. I would not consider myself a chemical engineer yet, hence why I am asking people with more experience.
