Do you have to take a Chemical Engineer degree at university to become a Chemical Engineer or could you take a Chemistry degree?

Well, believe it or not, it is somewhat possible. The chair in my chemical engineering department at the University of Toronto,is actually an applied chemist who took a masters in chemical engineering. But, in terms of knowledge, I believe that a chemist lacks fundamental knowledge about thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, process control, etc.. These core courses really define a chemical engineer at the bachelors level. In short, you will not be considered a chemical engineer with a chemistry degree. You can get a masters aftewards in chemical engineering, but the uses for that are somewhat debatable.

What subjects do you need to take in college to become a chemical engineer?
organic chemistry
Can you major in chemistry and become a chemical engineer?
It is possible but would be tough for a person from chemistry background. This is since he has to go into the basic technical aspects such as fluid mechanics, heat transfer, engineering thermodynamics, calculus and process design without which a chemical engineer is impossible.
How do you become a plastic engineer?
Chemistry is really important.
What courses do you need to become a genetic engineer?
biology,chemistry and also mathematics.
What education do you need to become a chemical engineer in the us?
A Bachelor of Science in chemical engineering.
What high school courses should be taken to be an engineer?
Make sure you take subjects like Physics, Chemistry and Mathmatics to become an engineer
What type of education is needed to become a chemical engineer in the US?
you need degrees
What do you need to become a civil engineer?
You need to pursue studies at any Engineering College or University and get the Degree in Civil Engineering to become a Professional Civil Engineer.
What do you have to do to become an agricultural engineer?
A long career youll need to go to a university
If you want to become Chemical Engineer what do you need to study now in high school?
Pre-Calculus (or Trigonometry), Calculus, Chemistry, and Physics in that order of importance. If you have the chance to take Advanced Placement chemistry, pay close attention when the phase diagrams and thermodynamics sections are covered as these will be used again in college.
What degree do you need to become a engineer?
You need a bachelor of science (B.S.) in chemical engineering.
What type of education is needed to become a chemical engineer?
England: There are many paths to a career in chemical engineering. But in every case an education in maths, physics and chemistry is essential. In the England this would generally mean gaining GCSEs in a broad spectrum of subjects, including maths and science; followed up with A-levels in maths, physics and chemistry; then a degree in chemical engineering on a course accredited by the IChemE; then at least three years industrial experience to gain chartered engineer status. Canada: There are two routes to certification as a Chemical Engineer. 1. Many Canadian universities offer accredited degree programs (Bachelors, Masters and Doctorate) in various fields of engineering. Several in offer as one of the specialties Chemical Engineering. The courses are heavy in all maths and areas specific to the type of engineering. Most require at least some non-technical courses to round out the education. 2. The certification bodies for engineers in each Canada province have developed self study courses and standardized exams for people wishing to become engineers. Becoming an engineer by this process is the equivalent of a university degree as regards certification and employability.NOTES:1. The designation Professional Engineer does not come with graduation. It is awarded by the certificating body in each province after a period of about 2 years of appropriate engineering experience2. The trademark of an engineer in Canada (and the US) is the "Iron Ring". This is not part of the university program or the Licensing Body certification program, but is run by an external body.
