For unit ops, McCabe, Smith, And Harriott is a good book.  It talks about everything from sizing mixing tanks to distillation column design to pumps and piping.  We used MS&H for probably 3-4 different classes as an undergrad.  On the reactions side, I liked the Fogler book.

Another important aspect of physics and engineering is building stuff.  In all the labs I've worked in (physics), there has been a large element of working with the hands, whether by putting together electronics, welding and soldering, using machine tools, sample preparation, or whatever.  It's important to feel comfortable working with your hands.  \n\nThe most effective way I have found for me to study is not only reading, but working to solve problems-- after you learn a concept, do several simple problems to make sure the concept and its applications stick with you.  I also find it's a lot easier to visualize things if I have some idea of the mathematical stuff that's going on.

Lisa S. Said:\n\n"Amazon lists this one as being highly rated (five stars) --Chemical Engineering Design and Analysis : An Introduction (Cambridge Series in Chemical Engineering) (Paperback)-- around $25 used."\n\nHey!  My first Chem E professor wrote that book!\n\nI'd agree it's a very good book for a first course in ChemE, and it is the only text book I bought that I actually read cover-to-cover.  At Berkeley, that book was used for the introductory course on "Material and energy balances applied to chemical process systems. Determination of thermodynamic properties needed for such calculations. Sources of data. Calculation procedures."\n\nI would definitely second that book as a recommendation.  It does a great job of preparing you for everything else to come, and the line of reasoning is very coherent.  Rather than just throwing some mathematical tools at you, it gives you the sort of comprehension necessary for performing intelligent analysis.

Refer to any good book on Finite Element Analysis, e.g. books by Ramamurty or Belegundu & Chandrupatla or Bathe etc.

dear friend if you are seriously interested then you can learn physics from any book in the library. best way to select the book is first decide what to you want to study, then go to a good library and skim through the relevant books, and read the book which you find most easy to grasp, and solve some problems. remember if you will not solve the problems you will never learn anything. some of the best books are Feynman lectures, Resnick Halliday, Berkeley Physics course, Zeemansky-Sears,H.A Goldstein-Classical Mech., DJ Griffith-Electrodyn. Modern QM -Sakurai etc..\nthese are not the only one there are lot more an dyou can find out from there bibligraphy and references which are the ones you need.

TAKE a Professional English/Vocabulary or Verbal course. Improve your verbal skills as much as possible. \nTake care of your basic Math and your higher level Calculus.\n\nAlso, pay attention to your engineering courses and have some preparation on this field also.
