Are you interested in engineering, but aren't sure of which field to pursue? Balancing Act is a short book geared towards people exactly in this situation. Often, students pursue chemical engineering solely due to the high pay, but this book will arm the reader with far more information than salary figures. The book discusses not just what chemical engineering is, but also how to negotiate the complicated maze of engineering school, all the way to finally getting a job. The author never had a guide like this while he was in school, and had to learn much of the material in the book by hard knocks. Written by Dr. Bradley James Ridder, the book is drawn heavily from the author's own experiences as a chemical engineering undergraduate at the University of South Florida and as a doctoral student at Purdue University. Covered topics include: 1. What do chemical engineers study in school? 2. What is the degree worth? 3. Navigating the student loan minefield. 4. How to prepare for success in engineering school while still in high school. 5. How to succeed in engineering school when you finally get there. 6. Tips on teamwork and leadership. 7. Preserving your health under pressure. 8. Preparing for a job interview, and ultimately getting a job. 9. A comparison between chemical engineering and medicine as careers. 10. Entrepreneurship and chemical engineering. 11. Future technologies on the horizon in the field. The Young Person's Guide to Chemical Engineering is an inside-look at exactly what chemical engineering school is like, and how to succeed in the degree while in college. Despite being related to chemical engineering, the book is light on mathematics (outside of the final chapter in the appendix). This makes the book an easy read, even for someone who may not be very technical. Chemical engineering is a fascinating field, linking chemistry, physics, mathematics, computers, materials science, and biology together to produce technologies that are truly revolutionary. If you are interested in being on the frontiers of human technological progress (and getting paid a lot of money to be there), this book will give you the information you need to excel in engineering school, and ultimately in the workplace.

This classic text has provided generations of aspiring chemical engineers with a solid foundation in the discipline – engineering problem analysis, material balances and energy balances. Richard Felder is a recognized global leader in the field of engineering education and this text embodies a lifetime of study and practice in effective teaching techniques. The text is in use at more than 4 out of 5 chemical engineering programs in the US.
  chemical engineering for beginners: Fluid Mechanics for Chemical Engineers Noel De Nevers, 2005 Fluid Mechanics for Chemical Engineers, third edition retains the characteristics that made this introductory text a success in prior editions. It is still a book that emphasizes material and energy balances and maintains a practical orientation throughout. No more math is included than is required to understand the concepts presented. To meet the demands of today's market, the author has included many problems suitable for solution by computer. Two brand new chapters are included. The first, on mixing, augments the book's coverage of practical issues encountered in this field. The second, on computational fluid dynamics (CFD), shows students the connection between hand and computational fluid dynamics.
  chemical engineering for beginners: The Applications of Chemical Engineering Harry McCormack, Edward Walter Comings, 1940
  chemical engineering for beginners: Thermodynamics for Chemical Engineers K. E. Bett, J. S. Rowlinson, G. Saville, 2003-02-01 This textbook covers the thermodynamics needed by chemical engineers both in their engineering and in their chemistry; it is intended for use in all undergraduate and some graduate-level courses. The authors emphasize a rigorous yet concise presentation of the fundamental chemical concepts governing the behavior of single and multicomponent mixtures, including phase and chemical equilibria. In the application of these concepts, consideration is given to the presentation of experimentally measured thermodynamic properties, and to their prediction for real fluids and their mixtures using methods founded on statistical mechanics. Several applications involving the transfer of heat and work that are of special importance to chemical engineers are studied in detail to show the use of thermodynamics in improving performance. The book is written in SI units and contains worked examples, exercises, and problems.
