Chemical Engineering Education, v58 n4 p259-264 2024
The scope of the chemical engineering curriculum has increased over time with the addition of new content such as coding and sustainability. This study aimed to identify the specific career paths of 311 chemical engineering students from the University of Kentucky (Lexington and Paducah) over the past five years. We also explored job placement of select individuals after five years in the field. The data were taken from publicly available personal sites such as LinkedIn. Results indicated that process and production engineering roles are still typical and that the pandemic impacted the students' opportunities and job placement.
