So it's about time I start my summer blog series. In case you forgot or haven't been around me that long, I had a somewhat popular series last summer about science and technology. Most of these were related to chemical engineering, as that is my passion and area of expertise. This summer I would like to write more about the same topics. I haven't picked any specific subjects so far, and I would like any suggestions you might have. I would really like to answer questions like these:
How does ________ work?
How is (food/chemical/beverage/dr
What are some of the important/interesting things you learned in your classes?
What does a chemical engineer actually do?
What are you/your friends doing for work now that you've graduated?
What sort of things are chemical engineers researching?
What are scientists and engineers doing for the world besides stimulating the economy with the buco bucks you make?
What makes you chemical engineers so awesome?
These are all, of course, suggestions. More specific questions would probably be easier to field. Chemical engineers are experts in strange things like energy, temperature, pressure, heat, chemical reactions, biology, food and "beverage" production, biofuels, electronics manufacturing, and applied mathematics. Questions about any of these would be great too.
Finally, I will be starting a blog off facebook! The notes will still be imported here, but it would be way awesomer to go to that site. I shall call it The Elegant Design. I hope to hear from you soon!
I will also be restarting my list of facebook subscriptions with the beginning of this new series and blog, so leave a comment if you've read this far and I will put you on the list!
