what is the difference between chemical and biochemical engineers?
84041
biochemical engineers are chemical engineers, chemical engineers are not necessarily biochemical.  Chemical means all areas of chemistry, bio is just the focus.  You can have polymer chemistry engineers, oil chemistry engineers, etc.

Chemistry is the science of the composition, structure, properties, and reactions of matter, especially of atomic and molecular systems.\n\nBut Science is the observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena.\n\nTechnolgy is  the application of science, especially to industrial or commercial objectives.

No difference by definition.  A molecule is the same molecule no matter how it was made.  As a practical matter, synthesizing molecules that are normally produced biologically is not always easy.  The exact way to do it may not have been discovered yet, in which case you might end up synthesizing something close, but not exact (but then, they would be considered different molecules--their origins would be irrelevant).  Even if you can synthesize the exact molecule, there is usually an issue of yield (you didn't just synthesize that molecule, but you also made lots of side products and incorrect isomers).

The scopes are boundless. Chemical engineers can go into medicine, textiles, oil and gas, materials, pharmaceuticals, plastics, and anything else that you can think of. Search the net for chemical engineering careers.

Lots of chemical engineers go in to the brewing/fermentation industry. You could work as a beer brewer or make industrial alcohol. Also, there are lots of jobs for chemical engineers in the cosmetics and personal hygiene industries making soap, shampoo makeup, hair cair products, etc. I also know one chemical engineer who is a perfumer. He works for a major brand creating the new scents.

What's a dpp class?\n\nWell I hate to tell you that not all jobs are easy to be described in the formalism you are looking for... Having said that and having done my PhD using genetic engineering here are some tips.\n\nYou need at least a university degree in biology or biochemistry or even chemistry. Then postgraduate studies in molecular biology. You might also come across genetic engineering as a postgraduate student doing (bio)chemical engineering.\nPersonally I studied chemistry 4 years in Greece (majored in biochemistry) and then did my PhD in molecular biology in Germany (4 years).\nDegree in genetics would also be a way towards genetic engineering (I think that would be not only through biology but also medicine). \n\nSalaries vary a lot depending on the country, your background and place of work. The most obvious place is an academic institute (universities, research institutes, etc) so in such places your salary would depend also on grants or fellowships (at least at the level of a post-doctoral fellow). Another place of work would be research and development for pharma industry and also ...hmm, well, the army...\n\nGenetic engineering is actually a tool, rather than a field of its own. It means changing the genetic material of organisms in a defined-designed way that changes their phenotype; changes their traits, even introducing completely novel ones. It can be from something as simple as a bacterium (or a virus which is not considered an organism) up to humans (gene therapy). You could be engineering the organism to study'use the organism itself or use the organism as a vessel for something else, like the genetically engineered bacteria which produce insulin and allow the easy, mass production of insulin. \nSo I wouldn't say that there are genetic engineers. Rather that there are different scientists which use this tool according to their needs and field of expertise.\n\nCommon duties and responsibilities? Well, the general ethics behind science and its practice and being very careful with safety issues.\n\nI guess this info can get you started

"Biomedical engineering combines engineering expertise with medical needs for the enhancement of health care. It is a branch of engineering in which knowledge and skills are developed and applied to define and solve problems in biology and medicine. Students choose the biomedical engineering field to be of service to people; for the excitement of working with living systems; and to apply advanced technology to the complex problems of medical care. The biomedical engineer is a health care professional, a group which includes physicians, nurses, and technicians. Biomedical engineers may be called upon to design instruments and devices, to bring together knowledge from many sources to develop new procedures, or to carry out research to acquire knowledge needed to solve new problems."\n\nExamples of work done by biomedical engineers include:\n\ndesigning and constructing cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators, artificial kidneys, blood oxygenators, and prosthetic hearts, blood vessels, joints, arms, and legs. \n\ndesigning computer systems to monitor patients during surgery or in intensive care, or to monitor healthy persons in unusual environments, such as astronauts in space or underwater divers at great depth. \n\ndesigning and building sensors to quantify components of the blood's chemistry, such as potassium, sodium, O2, CO2, and pH. \n\ndesigning instruments and devices for therapeutic uses, such as a laser system for eye surgery, a catheter to clear out a blocked blood vessel, or a device for automated delivery of insulin. \n\ndeveloping strategies for clinical decision making based on expert systems and artificial intelligence, such as a computer-based system for selecting seat cushions for paralyzed patients or for, managing the care of patients with severe burns or for diagnosing diseases. \n\ndesigning clinical laboratories and other units within the hospital and health care delivery system that utilize advanced technology. Examples would be a computerized analyzer for blood samples, ambulances for use in rural areas, or a cardiac catheterization laboratory. \n\ndesigning, building and investigating medical imaging systems based on X-rays (computer assisted tomography), isotopes (positron emission tomography), magnetic fields (magnetic resonance imaging), ultrasound, or newer modalities. \n\nconstructing and implementing mathematical/computer models of physiological systems to help life scientists better understand how those systems operate. \n\ndesigning and fabricating biomaterials and determining the mechanical, transport, and biocompatibility properties of implantable artificial materials.\n \ncreating new diagnostic procedures, especially those requiring engineering analyses to determine parameters that are not directly accessible to measurements, such as in the internal organs or brain. \n\ninvestigating the biomechanics of injury and wound healing.\n\nclick on this link and type in biomedical engineering and it will give you a list of schools:\n\nhttp://www.petersons.com/ugchannel/code/searches/srchCrit1.asp

mechanical engineers deals with machines to be more precise the moving parts of any machine while electrical engineers deal with the electrical circuitry o any machine. for example the gears of any machine will be under the purview of mechanical engineers while all the electrical on off switches are dealt by electrical engineers. In an air conditioner , the compressor willl be designed by mechanical engineers while electrical engineers wil design the temparature control circuits.

Biotechnology is the use of biological techniques to develop products.  Typically, biotech companies are those that research microorganisms, such as bacteria, or cellular components, like DNA, to produce drugs, lab equipment, etc.\n\nBiochemistry is the study of the chemical compounds/processes that occur in living organisms.  If you think of your body, you can zoom down and find cells, then zoom down again and find proteins making your body run.  At that point, single molecules of Oxygen or Phosphate, for example, are vital.  That is the level of biochemistry.\n\nBioinformatics is the application of computer science to molecular biology.  In recent years, a huge amount of informatoin about gene sequences and proteins have been generated.  Bioinformatics is interested in using computers to get meaningful answers from all this information.  It's also the field I'm doing my graduate work in.\n\nHope this helps.

Electrical engineering is the way to go and you will have to study lots of mathematics that is true for chemical engineering as well . If you like chemistry better go for chemical.All depends on your interest .You wouldn't like doing 8 hours daily a thing you have no interest in.If you go for MS and higher then I don't think there's much difference in career prospects.

Without a doubt, Chemical engineering is the most interesting and the most important! It is vital for the oil industry. It is vital for the food you eat, the products you use. Without chemical engineering, the world would be  worse place.

you can find job in the chemical, pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and medical device industries as a process development chemist amd analytical chemist.you can also find job in the food industry! allows you to work in many of new and exciting areas of science such as BioPharmaceuticals (sometimes called biotech)or pharmaceuticals. It can also allow you to work in the work of toxicology (where you determine the effects of drugs on people/animals) or even forensics. It really combines the best of biology with the best of chemistry.

They're all very different.  Electrical Engineering and Chemical Engineering have historically been among the highest paying engineering disciplines, but it's hard to do well in ANY engineering discipline if you don't enjoy the work.  And in the end, I'd say it's better to like your job than to make more money.  In engineering, if you're good at what you do, generally your opportunities will get better.\n\nI studied Computer Science in school and really enjoy what I do, but I know people who absolutely HATE it, and it's not worth picking a career if you don't think you'd like it.

Engineers have science degrees as do scientist so the difference is mainly in their course work in college and their intended work after graduation.  A scientist (pure or applied) tries to discover and document the physical phenomena under study in a lab to expand knowledge or to permit others to apply the science, respectively.\n\nAn engineer is an applied scientist in the field and uses technology to design and build physical structures.\n\nBoth scientists and engineers may conduct research in a lab but their objectives may be quite different.  For example, a scientist may wish to learn how and why materials corode while an engineer may wish to discover which paint will do tthe best job in preventing corrosion before painting a fleet of trucks.

If you are in the Philippines, I would suggest to avoid Chemical Engineering because of limited opportunities... Industrial Engineers usually get lower pay... Material Science is great because of the semiconductor industry and there are a lot of options... Environmental Engineering - not really sure... but I would recommend Electronics and Communications Engineering if you are really not decided because of flexibility...

Biomedical engineering-\nBiomedical engineering (BME) is the application of engineering principles and techniques to the medical field. It combines the design and problem solving expertise of engineering with the medical expertise of physicians to help improve patient health care and the quality of life of healthy individuals. As a relatively new discipline, much of the work in biomedical engineering consists of research and development, covering an array of fields: bioinformatics, medical imaging, image processing, physiological signal processing, biomechanics, biomaterials and bioengineering, systems analysis, 3-D modeling, etc. Examples of concrete applications of biomedical engineering are the development and manufacture of biocompatible prostheses, medical devices, diagnostic devices and imaging equipment such as MRIs and EEGs, and pharmaceutical drugs.\nBiomedical sciences-\nHealth science is the discipline of applied science which deals with human and animal health. There are two parts to health science: the study, research, and knowledge of health and the application of that knowledge to improve health, cure diseases, and understanding how humans and animals function. Research builds primarily on the pure sciences of biology, chemistry, and physics as well as social sciences (for example medical sociology). Other fields which made an exceptionally significant contribution to the health sciences include biochemistry, biotechnology, engineering, epidemiology, genetics, nursing, pharmacology, pharmacy, public health, and medicine. The health sciences industry, a multi-billion dollar business, is a subset of the life sciences, medical care, and diagnosis industries.
