Hello Everyone,

 

Here is my question to experts and experienced engineers.

 

Only a Chemical Graduate or Chemical Engineering professional could be a better "PROCESS ENGINEER" and "PROCESS DESIGN ENGINEER" .

 

Please guide further into this.

your question is vague.

 

If you mean a process engineer / designer should have a chemical engineering degree, I think the answer is not necessarily "yes". Mostly best process engineers are those who have graduated from chemical engineering schools but sometimes you can see talented people from other departments with outstanding process engineering capabilities.

Your "question" is not a question; it is a statement.

Thank You, Linda 1978, Stefan Ch and Latexman.

 

I apologize for the confusion created.

I am Correcting my question,

 

A Process Engineer or Process Design Engineer must have necessarily Chemical Engineering Degree? Or He/she could be a Mechanical Engineering Graduate/ post graduate.?

He/she can be a part-time baker or hairdresser, it really does not matter. I have met process engineers with Mechanical, Chemistry, or Industrial engineering education background and they all were excellent process engineers.

What you can do is much more important than what education you had.  However, most process engineers have Chemical Engineering degrees, which are required by most process engineer job openings.

I appreciate your Answer 'Shan'. Capabilities of a person are never restricted to his/her education or present situation. Thank you for the information.

 

 The question was based on my current situation. I am having degree in Mechanical  Engineering and now I am involved more in process design engineering calculations and steping ahead to the Process Engineering world.
