Important Skills Needed
1. Creativity
Creativity is paramount in developing new processes and scientific breakthroughs. This is the fundamental basis of Chemical Engineering, to design and innovate.
2. Communication Skills
Whether it be from writing reports to speaking in a panel, communicating effectively must be a well-practiced skill to ensure that information is conveyed appropriately to consumers, investors, fellow workers, and even students.
3. Inquisitive
Being able to ask the right questions can be the difference between a good Chemical Egnineer and a revolutionary one. Engineers and scientists constantly analyze their work thus allowing them to discern gaps or a facet that can be improved. Wondering and inquiring then using skills obtained to solve a problem is one thing that makes a Chemical Engineers.
4. Tech/Computer-Savvy
The complexity of technology is steadily increasing and awareness of these technologies assist these engineers to succed in their line of works and in further developing new technologies also.
5. Detail-oriented
Attention to detail is crucial espacially when handling items at a molecular level. One mistake can cost time and money. This skill is also important in process safety. Chemical engineers are responsible to make sure that no accidents occur because if an accident were to happen, it can cost someone's life.
