I'm thankful for how on the 26th (I think^2) in Mohawk's computer room in I-wing on the ledge in the corner where ppl leave behind magazines (and apparently books as well) up for grabs I found something that so rare-like to myself that even with the lack of space I have from the few but dense and long unrread books I have I found one that caught my attention enough and intrigued me enough to take it home;"Elementary principles of chemical processes 3rd edition" by Richard M.Felder and Ronald W.Rousseau,2005.
What makes this different from typical chemistry textbooks like the leftover textbook and answer book I had on analytical chemistry which I recently donated or typical intro books like a "chemistry for dummies" book I donated way before or intricate books on lab instrumentation that you can find in a library.Unlike typical chemistry which is used in the realm of quality control this book is about chemistry in *process* control;that is to say chemical *engineering*

My "educated guess" on a "chain of duties" is with help from this video which was quite nice in explaining the engineers and other experts involved in building a high skyscraping building
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chl5_z-gkWg:
-process control:chemical engineers.This I already know b/c they told us in school that identifying and testing substance composition is for quality control ppl (chemists) whist those monitoring each process in the steps of production is for those on quality assurance duty (chemists again)
structural analysis:mechanical,civil sorta depends on the scale and function.A mechanical engineer might be doing structural analysis on an airplane (and by that same token an "aerospace engineer" b/c of the seeming speciality on account of such work) but whether structural analysis on a building would mean taking a look at mass scale HVAC and piping concerns (mechanical) or
the integrity of the building's physical and material frame concerns (civil) depends on what your call on it is.
industrial engineering:traditionally mechanical or electrical engineering work I'm guessing
instrumentation:depending on the devices or tools structure and function,who ya gonna call?
"energy" engineering:primarily having to do with power-transmission/distribution/protection concern it's an electrical eng. concern but undoubtedly involves help from mechanical and structural ppl.You wanna go out looking for a *nuclear* engineer while your at it or is it possible that more pure physics specialists could fit the bill and safety?,how do you do it France `_` ?
geotechnical:for all those funky endevours in a variety of terrain like when you wanna do mining or some funky landscaping that maybe might be for farming (agricultural engineering?) or whatever resources you wanna manipulate and control like divert water resources in a region.This is what's making it a bit different from civil eng-ing I guess that you could say "enviromental" engineering (to whose's favor:nature's or the a human's?) but..
"enviromental" engineering:for all your "green" concerns and desires for evaluation to "green" standards sympathetic with enviromental well-being
agricultural engineering:yet another multidisciplinary duty to fufill where it might mean whatever you want it to be whether it's making farm machinery,a property in a crop yield doing something with your needed animal waste and water management
Value engineering:risk,cost and commercial management and planning.A quanitity surveyor in the construction industry is a good example but why do I think that a or some crafty accountants can be all on this ?

" 'social' engineering": ?... :mrgreen..in politics,computer *security* lest hackers get ya..


human engineering:


systems analysis:could be done the work of electrical,computer or software engineers or a regular mathematician on hand who just so happens to be into what vaguely could be called scientific
"knowledge engineering":a vague phrase for the work of computer,software engineers in cahoots with marketing and image specialists teaming up for the sake of business rep[utation]
genetic engineering:now even though MacMaster might actually have degree with such a name I'm guessing that no one will panic if their pharmacuetical project can't go on if they can't find anyone with a degree saying exactly this.Just add regular life sci ppl like biochemists and biologists,give'em some different in terms of responsibilities and duties tasks and you have a titular "genetic engineer" I'd think .You wanna make a few bacteria with efficient industrial waste consumption powers or whatever a kajillion times more than maybe get a chemical enger slap a title a/o duties on them whilst telling'em to brush up on bio and you got a "bioengineer" I suppose.Or get one with that on there degree from Mac U up here
electronic engineering:It might be an understatement if you think "high power annd voltage usage-for electrical enger and low power and voltage users=electronic engers".The intricacies of circuits & hardware of devices are the concerns you'll be making decisions on whilst interacting with other semi-conductor related jazz here I guess.A few more designing duties than what they'd give an electrical enger at a power plant and I'm guessing they know at least a lil'bit more about computer data than an electrical engineer,eh?.Maybe it's computer engineer by all other titles who would work as sweetly.But if it's say medical equipment like building an MRI it might be a biomedical person your looking for and maybe even a nuclear engineer for your radiation using concerns like making x-ray an CAT scan machines
computer engineers:mainly hardware and circuitry b/c there are software engers for big scale data and complicated programming concerns and network engineers meaning to go out and connect as well
military engineering:once upon a time it mainly meant ppl who had to be effective at making barracks,bridges and fortresses post-haste.That's why seeing to bringing non-military building into manifesting became known as *civil* ( like civilian) engineering.This is still done today but the specialities of others brought in to work on weapons and "who knows what else?"

Food engineering:get a guy who wonder around wikipedia to think of a scenerio where you'll need ppl doing structural analysis on a building (civil),needing special HVAC (mechanical) and electrical distrubution requirements that'll all be sending lots of info to control center of some kind (systems analysis and whoever you wanna put there) b/c you don't wanna have the nutrition of the tonnes of food (chemical?,bioenging?) made from wholesome organic ingredients to screw up in your food factory
In the face of obscene university tuition fees,low a--- job prospects for those graduating that seem like they'll still be being stagnant for a while which is added pressure for schooling that is hard as f--- and can leave you alone with your stress on subjects that only like hands-full of ppl truly understand^4 I could see that in the future a lot of duties in the industrial side of STEM fields being delagated more and more to technicians and technologists coming out in fair numbers/amounts from *community colleges* NOT universities as much.
Oh and don't forgot;despite the scoffing that non-STEM fields^3 get STEM fields and really anything science related esp.when done in the privatized world of commercial and efficient endevours is I'm guessing pretty f----g stressful AND with it's own set of ethics that oughta be attended to like how STEM field workers in medical fields do there thing.Do in academic fields `_` oh there just mad scientists having a ball going wild.JUST KIDDING

I don't do optimism wholeheartedly very often unfortunately but to all those students in STEM fields out there I throw out this token for you

^1 I actually can't think of something to fill in their
^2 My point is a few days ago
^3 Science,technology,engineering and mathematics field...honestly the stupidly done oversight on how that *M* can be used for social sciences in ways that ARE NOT about business objectives of mass money fetishes all around via (self?) destructive (or externally directed) consumption is gonna bite us in the a--- hard one day -_- that it might be the near death of us
^4 the work I mean,not the implicative psychological,philosophical,social etc implications on your life I mean,on the individual scale or interactive one like with family and romantic relationship partners I mean.
