Chemistry Spl

I was confused between chemistry and physics, so started a joint course, but eventually qualified, as a chemist and worked in industry on R&D on a chemical plant. I realized that I would have done chemical engineering had I known about it. So, proceeded to study, take exams in chemical engineering and completed a design project for the Institution of Chemical Engineers. I have done work which bridges both fields. Both careers are valid, one is not better than the other. Both have a considerable range of career options which will suit some people more than others. In general, chemical engineering is better paid and more likely to lead to management, but money should not be your main aim. If you love chemistry, you should do chemistry, because there is surprisingly little in chemical engineering. What chemical engineers do is to provide the conditions for chemical or biological reactions to take place by physical processes such as heating, cooling, stirring, bubbling gases through etc. Then they carry out processes such as distillation or filtration to separate and purify the products. Finally they minimize the energy usage of processes, and dangers to people and the environment. It is a very broad subject area. Of course, chemical engineers have to be competent in chemistry and be prepared to learn any chemistry involved in a process. May also deal with complex biological systems and get educated in that area. However, chemical engineering is absolutely not applied chemistry. The degree courses are completely different. If you choose to be a chemist, I would advise a career plan through to Ph.D in order to get a good job in industry. For a chemical engineer, a Masters is pretty much required. A Ph.D is somewhat optional unless you wish to be an academic.

The Department of Chemistry at Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology (SMIT), SMU was established in 1997 and it offers MSc (Chemistry) and PhD (Chemistry) courses. The department also provides fundamental courses to B.Tech first year students like B.Tech engineering chemistry, B.Tech engineering chemistry lab and environmental science.
The department covers all major areas of chemistry, viz inorganic, organic and physical chemistry. The MSc syllabus which is comparable with all leading universities / institutes caters to the intellectual aspirations of the students and they are exposed to the latest in the field. The students have the opportunity to take specialised courses of their choice (Medicinal Chemistry, Biophysical Chemistry, Chemistry of Nanomaterial, Polymer Chemistry, Bio-inorganic Chemistry and Supra-molecular Chemistry)The Department of Chemistry has successfully organized a two (02) day conference on Recent Trends in Chemistry in collaboration with Association of Chemistry teachers Homi Bhabha Centre for science education Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR)Mumbai 400088 during 17-18 February 2017.The Department of Chemistry has also successfully organized a two (02) day "Science Academies" Lecture Workshop on "Emerging trends in Chemistry and its pharmaceutical applications" during 30 - 31 October 2017. This workshop was sponsored by Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore; Indian National Science Academy, New Delhi and The National Academy of Sciences, Allahabad.
*The lab is well equipped to conduct under graduate engineering chemistry experiments.
The major equipments includes pH Meter, Conductivity Meter, UV-VIS Spectrophotometer is used to verify Beers-lamberts law, Redwood Viscometer, Potentiometer, Central Exhaust System, LPG connection, Water Distillation setup, BOD incubator, COD Reflux system, etc.
