1 On Being a Chemical Engineer and Other Useless Things Joao Soares FCIC, P.Eng., PhD, MASc, B.Eng., BBQ
2 Conclusions Come First Learn as much as you can now, because you never know what you will be doing (or even will enjoy doing) in the future.
3 Graduating igh School Class (1978)
4 What I liked to do when I was 18 and lived in Brazil Loved chemistry and doing experiments in the laboratory Didn t care much for math ated the polymer courses I had taken ated talking in public Went to the beach every weekend (every day on summer holidays) Did not speak English well
5 Fast forward to 2009 When my grad students want to hide from me, they go to the lab My main expertise is in the mathematical modelling of polymerization processes Teach ChE 102 (say no more ) The tropical beach closest to my home is in Cuba Still do not speak English well
