<p>I don’t know if you had this question asked many times, but I’m just curious. Do you have to know the classes you took such as organic chemistry, physical chemistry, and etc. by heart or do you need to know just enough to understand chemists you’re working with?</p>
<p>Most of engineering is not knowing exactly what the answer is, but knowing where to get the answer; so keep your text books you’ll need them.</p>
<p>I don’t really know what “good” is, because I know people who get As in class and then have a brain dump after the final. Then, when they need to draw on that information again in the future it’s not there. Would I say they were good?</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply. Have you taken Analytical Chemistry or a chemistry course equivalent to it? Is the subject important in chemical engineering?</p>
<p>I would say that having a firm grasp of all fundamental principles is key. Knowing the exact details is of such principles can be found in books.</p>
