Hello /sci/
Im going to a tech college in my state for some sort of engineering. I want to talk to chemical engineers, because I think chemistry is super cool, but I got an 80 C in chemistry these last years because it is very difficult. Should i worry much? Thanks.

Chemical engineers don't use much chemistry. A more correct term for us would be "tube engineers."

Why do you say that?

The tube part was a bit of an exaggeration, but we really don't use a whole lot of chemistry (depending on what exactly you do, this will vary). Most of the time we work with flow rates of things, thermodynamics, reactor operations and all sorts of equilibrium stuff. The majority of us don't go anywhere near things like organic chemistry.

oh, neat.
What if i wanted to develop pharmeceuticals? Would Chemical engineering be my thing?
Im really interested in all kinds of medicines and chemicals, i read a whole lot about LSD and all of its effects and stuff.

You want biochemistry / molecular biology for that kind of thing.
