“Chemical Engineer”是“化学工程师”or“化工工程师 ...? chemical engineer in the field of engineering , a chemical engineer is the profession in which one works principally in the chemical industry to convert basic raw materials into a variety of products, and deals with the design and operation of plants and equipment to perform such work. in general, a chemical engineer is one who applies and uses principles of chemical engineering in any of various practical applications; primarily with respect to the study of the design, manufacture, and operation of plant and machinery in industrial chemical and related processes. in 1924 the institution of chemical engineers adopted the following definition 'a chemical engineer is a professional man experienced in the design, construction and operation of plant and works in which matter undergoes a change of state and composition.' (the first female member joined in 1942.) as can be seen from the latter definition, the occupation is not limited to the chemical industry , but more generally the process industries, or other situations in which complex physical and/or chemical processes are to be managed. overview historically, the chemical engineer has been primarily concerned with process engineering . the modern discipline of chemical engineering, however, encompasses much more than just process engineering. chemical engineers are now engaged in the development and production of a diverse range of products, as well as in commodity and specialty chemicals . these products include high performance materials needed for aerospace , automotive , biomedical , electronic , environmental and military applications. examples include ultra-strong fibers, fabrics , adhesives and composites for vehicles, bio-compatible materials for implants and prosthetics, gels for medical applications, pharmaceuticals , and films with special dielectric, optical or spectroscopic properties for opto-electronic devices. additionally, chemical engineering is often intertwined with biology and biomedical engineering . many chemical engineers work on biological projects such as understanding biopolymers ( proteins ) and mapping the human genome . 再看看中文定义: 【职能定义】 化学工程师是运用化学、物理和工程学原理和技术,设计化学工厂设备和生产化学制品(例如汽油、合成橡胶、塑料、去污剂、水泥、纸张和纸浆)的技术人员。 “化学工程师”所覆盖的面较广,权威的american institute of chemical engineers( aiche) 通常叫“美国化学工程师学会”。“化学工程师”只是一种title(职称)而不是专业(specialty),可以说你的专业是chemical engineering(化学工程),而你就是个chemical engineer(化学工程师)。 [ 本帖最后由 echommm 于 2008-10-27 09:44 编辑 ]查看更多
