tenth grade and is a housewife. They had to work hard to put my brother and me through college but they imbibed the value of knowledge in us from a young age. I took up engineering as a career due to my innate interest but I was the first in my family to attend a univeristy with diversified community or to choose chemical engineering. So, transition into university was one the hardest things I had to do. I could overcome this and turn things around thanks to the support from faculty, friends and mentors
Personal Statement Over a casual dinner-table conversation a few years ago with a chemical engineer, my curiosity about his profession led to quite an engaging discussion between us. I was amazed by the several innovations brought about by the Chemical Engineering fraternity which have changed the lives of so many people across the globe. For example, he told me the dramatic change in the gasoline production levels which came about due to the Houdry Process in 1934. It set me thinking on what a remarkable
since middle school that I wanted to do something related to the chemistry major, but it was not until I attended a leadership camp the summer before my sophomore year of high school that I decided I wanted to major in chemical engineering. The camp was focused on the engineering field, and team work and team bonding. As a final project, we were all split into groups of five to six and we had to come up with an idea on how to improve a water fountain, a slot machine, or a stationary bike. I found
complete masochist for taking up this program, but no, it is not actually like that. The real reason why I took chemical engineering remains as a mystery to me as well, because back then, I was just influenced by my high school friends to take up this program without knowing what I would like to be several years from now. But, thinking about it right now, I guess taking up chemical engineering happened for a reason and it is not that bad at all despite all of those struggles. Well, I could not really

Biochemistry and Chemical Engineering are two college majors that I find interesting. Because of my interest, I researched what each major was, the classes that a student in each major would have to take, and what career opportunities that each major provides. Biochemistry is a branch of science that involves chemistry and living beings. The chemical processes and reactions that occur within living beings is fundamental part of this branch of science. The Biochemical Society gives a better definition
Chemical engineering is a degree that utilizes both physical and life sciences to produce, transport, transform, and use chemicals, materials, and energy. People in this field turn their prowess in chemicals towards energy, medicine, electronics, and materials. My interest in Chemical Engineering stems from the diverse amount of jobs it translates to and also its large influence of Chemistry. I began to become interested in Chemistry my junior year of high school when I decided to take AP Chemistry

baking soda used as a pain reliever for “headaches, body aches, pain, heartburn, acid indigestion, and sour stomach” (Alka-Seltzer Tablets). It is put into water, left to dissolve and then consumed. When an Alka-Seltzer tablet is dropped into h20, a chemical reaction immediately takes place and produces bubbles made out of carbon dioxide as a product of the collision (Olson 2). When in its original powder (dry) form, the Alka-Seltzer’s two main ingredients: citric acid and sodium bicarbonate are just
Complex mixtures can be separated and analyze using physical methods. One of it is chromatography. Two components in a mixture are separated by using the different distribution between two non- miscible phases which is stationary phase and mobile phase. The stationary phase exists as liquid or solid and it is fixed in a system. The mobile phase is a fluid which streams through the chromatographic system. In general, the process of chromatography is about a mixture of various components enter the
discipline combines them better than engineering. My interest in engineering started early, as I watched my father disassemble hard drives, design miniscule parts, and change the world through his work. Over time, I found myself with the same love of design and innovation that my father had, but unlike him, my love lay more within Chemistry rather than Physics. This interest was only strengthened during my visit to an oil refinery which, led me to pursue Chemical Engineering. Inside, I was finally able to
I am interested in Chemical Engineering at WashU partially due to my great love of chemistry and mathematics. Math has come naturally to me ever since I was a little kid, and the logic of numbers appeals to me, and I take great joy in the processes and intricacies of chemistry, and its explanation of the world around us. Chemical Engineering, I believe, is a perfect meld of these to disciplines that fits very well with my skills and interests. In addition, I have always been fascinated by why products
