"This book is a combination ofa) an introduction to the discipline
of chemical engineering (with biological applications), andb)
career guidance through the stories, experiences and words of 25
engineers educated in the discipline. Most are practicing or
teaching the profession, and a few have used their undergraduate
education to launch into other areas (e.g. law, medicine).The text
content is integrated with simple introductions to specific
concepts, descriptive pictures and portraits. It is a beautiful,
articulate, persuasive way to sell our profession to young people
exploring career paths….the book is truly inspiring. I would have
jumped into this discipline with greater anticipation and
confidence if I had read it as a 15-17 year old student!"- Marylee
Z. Southard, Ph.D, Associate Professor, Chemical & Petroleum
Engineering, University of Kansas"Careers in Chemical and
Biomolecular Engineering provides an excellent introduction to
chemical engineering that will be highly valuable... The book
highlights the significant contributions and achievements of the
profession and grand challenges for the future, which is inspiring
for both future and current chemical engineers. As such, it will be
a welcome addition to the libraries of both. I would have loved to
have seen a book such as this earlier in my career, as the
perspectives and breadth of opportunities presented can be quite
helpful in making career choices! Certainly, the book fills a need
in describing careers and career opportunities for the chemical
engineering profession."- Joseph B. Powell, Ph.D., Shell
