@bolded, I disagree with you. Chemical Engineering is not the same as Production Engineering. Production Engineering is more of Mechanical Engineering than Chemical Engineering. As a matter of fact some Unis call their Mech. depts "Mechanical & Production Engineering".

Also Mechanical Engineers do not only fabricate plants equipment!!! The internet is a really great place to learn.

What do Chemical Engineers Do?

It would take too long to list all the products that are impacted by chemical engineers, but knowing what industries employ them may help you comprehend the scope of their work.

Chemical engineers work in manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, design and construction, pulp and paper, petrochemicals, food processing, specialty chemicals, microelectronics, electronic and advanced materials, polymers, business services, biotechnology, and environmental health and safety industries, among others.
Don't make the mistake of thinking that chemical engineers only “make things,” though. Their expertise is also applied in the areas of law, education, publishing, finance, and medicine, as well as in many other fields that require technical training.

COMPARED TO

What Does a Mechanical Engineer Do?

Mechanical engineers are typically involved with the generation, distribution, and use of energy; the processing of materials; the control and automation of manufacturing systems; the design and development of machines; and the solutions to environmental problems.
Mechanical engineers work on teams responsible for developing a wide range of products and systems including, for example, space shuttle vehicles, aircraft of all sizes and shapes, automobiles, turbines, pumps, power plants, and factories.

Now tell me which one of them is directly involves in production or processes? let me break it down....these two work hand in hand but Chemical Engineer must always be around plants and monitor process/unit operation to make sure things run smothly base on his knowledge of Chemistry,maths, physics,and other applied sciences. A mech Engineer is about the planning(plant design which cant be done without the ChemENG),fabricate and do maintenance work when need be.But a chem eng on the other hand must be on ground 24/7 at the plant to manage it.Please read about the two oh.Am A chem Eng by the way,bulk of our works rarely involve fabrication,in fact we dont do workshop much.The Mechs does that.We research deeper on processes and productions,they dont do much in that aspect except if its on their machine .I did not really mean Mech Eng are not involves in production....they do infact they are there anywhere there is a machine but the Chemical Engineers are also known as process Engineer.Thanks

Who's with me? I dont really want Naruto to end at all!

Jbluv55:
I hereby implore you to come vote and help these TWO BYOOOTIFUL LADIES: ROZZAY AND AFRICANAPPLE scale through this semi-final round of this Miss NL contest.

Thanks for being there for us always . I am counting on your votes to see them through. God bless you as you do this. One Love Keep Us Together .

where's the link nah? Guy I dont have time. Plus where are the beautiful ladies make I sample them?

shakol91:
Bro what's that thing you're marketing presently (it seems you're making cool cash from it),abeg can u send me a pm with the link make I check. I need to re-start my import biz very soon...Just need to resurrect

hahahaha I do random things...I noticed there is poor signal,so I write proposals to the offices who might need a steady network signals! check AE tho! Happy importing!

importexpert:
sorry just be patient. once Nipost receives your parcel updates becomes very poor. the best they can update is "unsuccessful Delivery". they love it soooo much. happy sales brother. we will be expecting pictorial updates.. your success is my pride

I got there,fill forms and wola,I walked away with my package! It worked fine for all Network.I wont be able to upload cos I dont have a smartphone!

Damn those Hong Kong post staffs that did not update my tracking on time...my parcel is waiting for me since last week,just saw it today.Am selling my signal booster at the rate of 15k per unit,ordered it for 5k. Am soo sure I'll get a pre-order of up to 20 pieces this month. Importexpert thanks for your importation guides! Omo I don hammer.

TahariX:
Lmao. Eyah I guess your tiny brain cannot process the fact that a girlfriend isn't the same as a housemaid.

this is by far the most myopic worldview ever! Am not gona marry a lazy lady that'll ask me to cook for her cos she think cooking for both of us makes her a housemaid. Smh

Alright pal I just feel I should point out to some key points in this inspiring post of yours.
Chemical Engineering is the same as Process or Production Engineering. They have branches such as Petroleum,Petro-chemical,Oil-gas,Nuclear,Environmental Engineering etc. This branch of Engineering deals with any processing company. They research and develop.Contrary to what you said, Mechanical Engineers only fabricate plants equipments,the process/chemical Engineer design and manages plants of any industry

[quote author=Feraz post=27179192]From the above, one wonders if the only branch of Engineering being studied in Nigeria is Petroleum Engineering. In my varsity, there are various branches which include – Mechanical, Electrical/Electronics, Civil, Chemical, Computer, Petroleum and Production Engineering.

According to Wikipedia, Engineering is defined thus “Engineering (from Latin ingenium, meaning "cleverness" and ingeniare, meaning "to contrive, devise" is the application of scientific, economic, social, and practical knowledge in order to invent, design, build, maintain, and improve structures, machines, devices, systems, materials and processes”. From the above definition, it is seen that Engineering goes beyond the oil/gas industries.

Looking at Mechanical Engineering for example as that is my field, there are fields to specialize in like Robotics, Aerospace, Aeronautics, Energy, Automobile, Automotive, Marine etc. but you wonder why we do not have so many firms that focus on the above listed. Just recently, India joined the leagues of nations that have sent space probes to Mars and you wonder, where are the Mechanical Engineers in Nigeria? This same country also make various machines and export to nations and it was not long they started doing all these. USA has the likes of NASA, Boeing and other Engineering firms not related to the oil/gas industry. Japan the same with Toyota, Nissan, Kawasaki Heavy Industries etc. What about South Korea? We use their product Hyundai and they also design and build ships for nations. These are just few examples and they all have one thing in common, they are not related to the oil/gas industries. What crime is it if we as Mechanical Engineers come together and create our technology to We always want to work in the oil/gas industry forgetting that some of the equipment needed there is designed and manufactured by the Mechanical Engineers.

So good and they named him twice.... Playing for BOLTON WANDERERS. Trust me if he was that good then the world's big clubs would tussle for his signature. Great entertainer though, but not in the league of kanu nwankwo, Samuel etoo, George weah.

Judging a player by his trophies aint good enough. There're players that only play cameo roles for their country but none remember them. Austin Jay Jay Okocha is a living legend in football take it or leave it. Yes he does not win enough trophies cos unfortunately,he could not get a good club.yes twice he was nominated but was not chosen for those awards. Jay Jay is gifted so he's a great player and you cant take that away from him. Greatness have different.

olutunde12:
You are still very new in the market. One even said he is just serving. Not many people think about setting up themselves at that level. Can you tell us the total number of nigerians working with all the oil companies combined? Do you know that Nigeria produces a minimum of 600,000 graduates (University graduates) and about 1,000,000 more from other institutions per year? How many of these are quaranteed jobs in Shell and Chevron as you said? Does entrepreneuship only entail learning tailoring and hair dressing? What about looking at an aspect of the course you studied? A friend started producing paint after our B.sc in chemical engineering. I made jest of him then. Today he is one of the most succesfull paint producers in Nigeria. He has a job he can leave for his children and grand children after him. Can you give your shell job to your child? Everybody is entitled to his opinion. Do what you feel is good for you and leave the rest.

You're more realistic than the bias OP...it rocks to be an Entreprenuer! Am talking innovation and creativity not some dumbass artisan. I know a guy who graduated from university with 3rd class computer scientist but he's making it big with programing. He works free lance for the government and cooperate organizations to troubleshoot for them. He started with zero capital. This people just wanna be suffering themselves looking for shell and chevron thats not guaranteed even with first class.

BankoleNco:
+ Lost interest in my friends football , work and most things I used to enjoy doing. . . Is that depressed enough?

we're age mates and I think you're being hard on yourself. See age is nothing but a number. In my own case,I just reached my prime.I flirt,play games,live free,play with kids. You need to start enjoying those things you enjoyed again and forget your age. See if you see yourself as old,believe me you'll start feeling old. You'd go bald,grow grey hair with weak bones. I'd rather live like a young adult than an old youth. Dont be stupid you still have like 40years to old age.lol

Jbluv55 am not happy tonight.
how can I be drinking alone? I said I want a sweet babe to spoil tonight you just dey there no send me. Okay till I find another bar.

Beazy:
Sometimes you can’t blame ladies who are crazy about material stuffs, and that is because our society is not encouraging hard work. Study hard, you get handshake. Spend time to look sexy, you get big regards. Smh!
The Miss Unilag 2014 Winner was Awarded Handsomely with a Brand New Car last week, How Come the Most Brilliant Debater get a Laptop?

Laptop will help the smart girl to further enhance her studies {asset}. Car will enhance the Beautiful lady in the pursuit of her modeling career and she'll be spending of fuel and maintainance{liability} No society gave you what you need to achieve your dream.It shows that school is not just academics alone. Dont be shocked the model may end up being more successful than the smart girl because modeling makes you independent...if the smart girl cant find a job in the long run you'll understand your gift,skills and talent is way more important than certificate.

They should hear it...its not about fake nice attitudes but to be real. Thats how to get a girl.

LARRYDKING:
Yea. I think i have d luck anyway. But it see d more i grow, the more it fade away. Back in sec sch, i got a lot of toasters but i was too proud and arrogant. Just days back, i saw one who is nw a star on campus, i just wish i can turn back d hands of time. But still on d matter, it feels good to be wooed by a woman.

what if I told you that they followed you prolly cos you are arrogant but you messed up you did not make the best of it!
