Other Areas of High Impact
Excel in medical school
Human body is one big biochemical system/factory
Among best engineering majors to prepare for medical school
Marries biology, chemistrytraining and engineering
Provides understanding to relate these sciences to the working system ofthe body
Many applications in law Especially patent law, the union of high technologyand the legal
profession Chemical engineers have a broad technology background
Finance and venture capital Evaluation, development of high-tech productsand markets
Chemical engineers have strong focus on evaluation of the value ofmoneyand cost accounting

Chemical Engineers are Valuable
ChEs historically have commanded high salaries Employed in industries that make and sell high value-
added products
Skilled ChEs produce high-value addedmaterials cost-
effectively
Companies willing to pay for talent
Many 2011 Purdue ChE graduates received starting
salaries greater than$65,000/year Average for Purdue ChEs was $67,028
