>>11562234I'm in my last 2 months of my BSc in ChemE, I'm currently doing my thesis at a nuclear power plant.
The ChemEs I've met on the power plant all work with the water chemistries on the power plant (reactor coolant water, steam, condensate, etc).
The work at this powerplant has been more varied than I would have thought for a ChemE. You have tasks out in the power plant, in the lab, and behind the desk.
Water chemistry has been the unifying umbrella under which ChemEs work.
We don't have a title/program called NukeE in my country, but i gues that they would have similar tasks as the physicists at the power plant.
The physicists calculate and estimate neutron flows, how much energy can be squeezed out of the fuel, effects of radiation on equipment, etc.
Your field is gonna be pretty narrow though.
I've never met an ElecE, so I have no answer on that one.
ChemE is the widest of the engineering fields, you can work with anything from the nuclear industry, polymers, metals, food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, etc.
There is a difference in the saturation of different engineers on the market though, that you're gonna have to think of in your country.
My country has a slight shortage of ChemEs, so I'm pretty safe compared to what I've heard it's like for a lot of americans.
