I studied chemical engineering: all of our PhD grads chose industry over academia, and most of our young professors had come out of physics, chemistry, and biology departments. It was an interesting culture mix, partly created by the fact that ChemE is either disappearing as a field or changing to the point of being unrecognizable (depending on who you ask).
- Xcelerate 10y agoYeah, the field has changed a ton. When my dad was working on his ChemE degree, they had a class strictly on galvanization (which was barely covered at all in my undergrad), and they were doing McCabe-Thiele diagrams by hand.
