Is Engineering the right choice for a "right brained" person? Ft: A Ridiculous Amt of Questions

<p>

Chemical engineering sounds pretty interesting, but of course it turns out it’s one of, if not the hardest, branch of engineering. So why is this so and is it true? What to do chemical engineers do?

</p>

<p>Basically because Chemical Engineering, like most other engineering disciplines is heavily based in physics (don’t let the title “Chemical” fool you!). A lot of Chemical Engineering involves process control and thermodynamics and it touches on physics, chemistry and even biology. The AICHE has a [url="<a href="http://www.aiche.org/community/students/career-resources-k-12-students-parents/what-do-chemical-engineers-do"]definition[/url"&gt;http://www.aiche.org/community/students/career-resources-k-12-students-parents/what-do-chemical-engineers-do"]definition[/url</a>].</p>

How easy is it to switch between the various branches?

</p>

<p>What you get your degree in and what you do as a profession may be very different. You can find All different types of engineers in the Aerospace and Petroleum industries.</p>

<p>

Which branch of engineering would allow me to express my creativity the most?

</p>

<p>There is a lot of room for creativity in engineering. Many universities are looking for engineering students who are more than the stereotypical “nerds” and a good fraction of new inventions come from engineers. In fact is it very important for a successful engineer (any STEM profession for that matter) to be a good writer and communicator.</p>

<p>So if you are willing to put in the work and you have a passion for engineering, go for it.</p>
