Hi sahil,

So as a chemical engineering student I can help you out here .You have to know few points that are mandatory to keep in your mind.

• Chemical engineering is a universal branch and you can shift to any industries as you have a adequate knowledge of each branches
• Mass transfer is a topic which gives you an upper hand to other mechanical engineering students
• Chemical technology is related totally to processing and reactions which means that you would be always attached to serious line of work but if u choose chemical engineering you can choose any company ....either psu , production , food and paints and oil industries.
• You can have a great scope as an chemical engineer where as in Chemical technology you can go to companies which are solely producing chemicals industries,so I would suggest you to take chemical engineering
• As you can change from chemical engineering industries to chemical technology industries

Hope that helps you and for further queries u can ask me

This is among the most underestimated branch with a wide scope in India and abroad .

Have a great luck in future

Dear Aspirant

Chemical engineering is better than chemical technology because chemical engineering is older than chemical technology and chemical engineering has been known and many chemical companies hiring more chemical engineer than one belonging to chemical technologies.

Good luck for your future :)

Feel free to ask if you have any further queries.

Hi dear,

Hope you are doing well!

Now let's go through your question.

As you will be knowing that Engineering and Technology overlap, but aren't the same. Engineering deals with the application of advanced science and math to design some device, system, or product. Technology deals with the application of basic science and technologies to build that device, system, or product.

Education is a key difference. Chemical Engineers have a good deal of coursework in Physical Chemistry, Biochemistry, Polymer Chemisty, or Organic Chemistry along with classes in Mass transport, Thermodynamics, Bioprocessing, or Reactor Design. Chemical Technologists may take Gen Chem I & II, Physics, Technical Chemistry, Instrumentation, and Analytical Analysis.

Basically, a chemical engineer is in the laboratory developing a new drug for BioX Pharmaceuticals. His team has been at work some time now trying to synthesize the new drug, and finally one day has a breakthrough. After patenting, having the medical scientists perform trials, and getting the FDA to approve the new drug BioX decides to put it into production. The engineer, working alongside other engineers, may develop an automatic system to manufacture the drug. Someone has to monitor the manufacturing system; program the machines, make sure they are working well, and replace the chemicals needed to manufacture the drug. That's where the Technologist comes in and that's what they do, depending on the level of their education. Some techs may just program or maintain the machines and chemicals. Others are in management positions, sales, and applied engineering.

Still, others may work as lab assistants to the engineers.. working the instruments, setting up experiments, and collecting data. This is what most chem techs probably do.

Thank You & All the best!
