1 “Bottom line” messages: Study less, learn more! …and read more! “Buy one, get one free!” ChE 300/FSC 012 Ljubisa R. Radovic Dept. of Energy and Geo-Environmental Engineering, PSU Collegian, 01/19/2006

2 -Energy and Fuels Engineering (option in ChE) -Energy and the Environment -Society expects us to know this (impact on daily lives and tough decisions ahead) -A natural ‘market’ for ChE grads -Greatest job opportunities are at the interfaces between traditional disciplines -petroleum engineering/geology -chemistry/engineering/biology -medicine/physics/chemistry, etc. ChE 300/FSC 012

3 B.S. ChE/EFE Managerial careers Patent law Career development Environmental careers Production/manufacturing careers Team building Process engineering careers What will you be expected to know?

4 B.S. ChE/EFE Managerial careers Patent law Career development Environmental careers Production/manufacturing careers Team building Process engineering careers What will you be expected to know? GENERAL EDUCATION SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE -”Non-technical” (society expects this in the “global economy”) -Technical (stoichiometry, thermo, kinetics, transport phenomena, energy/environmental issues) -process control -reactor design -biotechnology -electronics -materials -etc. (your boss expects this)

5 B.S. ChE/EFE Managerial careers Patent law Career development Environmental careers Production/manufacturing careers Team building Process engineering careers What will you be expected to know? The wonders of google.com, etc.!? (Where and how to find…)

6 What do engineers do for a living?

7 Calculate?

8 What do engineers do for a living? (Gu)es(s)timate! (i.e., make reasonable assumptions… and are thus ingenious!)

9 Energy  Environment …can’t live without it! …may not be able to live in it (comfortably)!

10 Key Questions? Energy  Environment …can’t live without it! …may not be able to live in it (comfortably)! Much to learn, not enough “storage space”!? What to know? What to know where to find?
