  1. Contact: Dr. Charlie Gooding, chgdng@clemson.edu Welcome to Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering

  2. Contact: Dr. Charlie Gooding, chgdng@clemson.edu What is Chemical Engineering? • Combines chemistry, biology, physics, & mathematics • Focuses on the engineering & processing of materials, from synthesis through purification to end use • Earning a BS degree in Chemical Engineering will prepare you for a wide variety of career options. “One thing that makes chemical engineering great is that there are so many things you can do with this degree. The options are almost limitless.” — Stephen Finley, ’07

  3. Contact: Dr. Charlie Gooding, chgdng@clemson.edu Careers in Chemical Engineering Pharmaceuticals Electronic & Advanced Materials Energy Environmental Sustainability

  4. Contact: Dr. Charlie Gooding, chgdng@clemson.edu Careers in Chemical Engineering Commodity and Specialty Chemicals Food Biotechnology

  5. Contact: Dr. Charlie Gooding, chgdng@clemson.edu Careers in Chemical Engineering Business Medicine Law

  6. Contact: Dr. Charlie Gooding, chgdng@clemson.edu Recent Job Stats for Clemson BSChEs • 80% entered full time employment average starting salary: $65,000 (range $50,000-$90,000) • 20% continued academic preparation with graduate work in engineering, medicine, or law

  7. Contact: Dr. Charlie Gooding, chgdng@clemson.edu Career Path Forecast • ChEs are expected to see significant employment growth for the foreseeable future (US Dept. of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics) • Large growth opportunities are expected in research and development, particularly in energy, biotechnology, and nanotechnology (Sloan Career Cornerstone Center) • Pharmaceuticals , specialty chemicals, and energy are likely offer the best manufacturing opportunities for ChEs (Sloan Career Cornerstone Center)

  8. Contact: Dr. Charlie Gooding, chgdng@clemson.edu Advanced Career Opportunities • PhD: Usually required or research/development or university teaching. Recent Clemson grads have chosen to continue their studies at MIT, UCBerkeley, UTexas, GaTech, , UVa, UFla, NCState, Iowa, Clemson, and several other universities. • MS: Can be used as a first step toward a PhD or to bolster your resume, but don’t expect a quick payout. • Professional Degrees: Medical/dental, veterinary, law. (Columbia U, USC, MUSC, UGa, UNC-Chapel Hill) • Master’s in Business Administration (MBA): usually of more value if you get a few years’ of industry experience first. • Professional Engineer (PE) – certification based on 5 years’ experience and a professional exam.

  9. Contact: Dr. Charlie Gooding , chgdng@clemson.edu Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at Clemson • All courses & labs are located in Earle Hall • We occupy all of Earle Hall We are… • 180 Undergraduates (sophomore, junior, senior) • 35 Grad students • 16 Faculty & Staff • 1 big, happy family
