  • Chemical Engineering Careers in the Bioeconomy
    BioFutures Chemical engineering careers in the bioeconomy A selection of career profiles Foreword In December 2018, IChemE published the final report of its BioFutures Programme.1 The report recognised the need for chemical engineers to have a greater diversity of knowledge and skills and to be able to apply these to the grand challenges facing society, as recognised by the UN Sustainable Development Goals2 and the NAE Grand Challenges for Engineering.3 These include the rapid development of the bioeconomy, pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and an increased emphasis on responsible and sustainable production. One of the recommendations from the BioFutures report prioritised by IChemE’s Board of Trustees was for IChemE to produce and promote new career profiles to showcase the roles of chemical engineers in the bioeconomy, in order to raise awareness of their contribution. It gives me great pleasure to present this collection of careers profiles submitted by members of the chemical engineering community. Each one of these career profiles demonstrates the impact made by chemical engineers across the breadth of the bioeconomy, including water, energy, food, manufacturing, and health and wellbeing. In 2006, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) defined the bioeconomy as “the aggregate set of economic operations in a society that uses the latent value incumbent in biological products and processes to capture new growth and welfare benefits for citizens and nations”.4 This definition includes the use of biological feedstocks and/or processes which involve biotechnology to generate economic outputs. The output in terms of products and services may be in the form of chemicals, food, pharmaceuticals, materials or energy.

  • Concentration in Biochemical Engineering
    Concentration in Biochemical Engineering Interested in pursuing an undergraduate degree at the interface of life sciences and engineering? The Concentration in Biochemical Engineering is for students majoring in Chemical Engineering who have an interest in pursuing careers or graduate studies in biotechnology, bioengineering or the pharmaceutical industry. This program represents the first formal training program in bioengineering at UMass Amherst, and we are very excited about it! We hope you are excited about this opportunity as well. What will I be able to do with this Concentration? At the end of the program, you will have a B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering, and you can pursue a career in the chemical, petroleum, or advanced materials industry, just as any other B.S. Chemical Engineer would. However, you will also have specialized training that will make you a better candidate for a career in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. Employers of chemical engineers in Massachusetts and Connecticut are heavily based in the life sciences and pharmaceutical sectors. ChemE students taking the courses listed on the next page have also gone on to graduate programs in Bioengineering and to medical schools. Why a Biochemical Engineering Concentration rather than a degree in Bioengineering? You may be considering other universities that offer B.S. degrees in Bioengineering. Our faculty has given much thought to how to integrate bioengineering with the traditional engineering disciplines, and whether or not to offer a distinct degree program. However, nationwide statistics show that students with core training in a traditional area of engineering and a specialization in bioengineering have much better placement than students with an undergraduate degree in bioengineering.

  • Concentrations for Chemical Engineering Majors
    August 2016 Concentrations for Chemical Engineering Majors Chemical engineering majors may choose to focus their studies by obtaining one of the following Concentrations: Biological, Energy, Environmental, or Materials. A Concentration is not mandatory and some students will benefit from exploring a variety of areas rather than choosing to focus on one. The Concentrations require 3 units of study (potentially all of which may be double-counted towards the Chemical Engineering degree) comprised of the following: an MQP (that satisfies the Chemical Engineering degree requirement and covers a topic in the Concentration field) and 2 units from the appropriate list below. Students should consult their academic advisor for advice and the Chemical Engineering Department Undergraduate Committee for approval of an appropriate course of study. Appropriate experimental courses, ISPs, and other appropriate courses or projects, not on the current lists, may be applied towards a Concentration with approval from the Chemical Engineering Undergraduate Committee.
