“An innovator is one who does not know it cannot be done” - R.A. Mashelkar
These splendid words of Dr R A Mashelkar have made a deep-rooted impact on my mind. He rightly states that great leaders fearlessly tackle challenges; they believe that nothing is impossible. These leaders are actually innovators who have immense passion in them to envisage solutions for perplexing problems. As a young, aspiring engineer, I find Dr R A Mashelkar’s philosophy, that the innovators have compassion in their heart and passion in their belly, very inspiring. I envision myself as an innovator who can merge passion and compassion to develop technological solutions that will transform lives and benefit the society.
In my high school days, I found chemistry to be the most intriguing subject. I liked Organic Chemistry, particularly the mechanisms of chemical reactions. As time progressed, I understood that chemistry and physics formed the basis of science and technology, and mathematics is a tool required to model these sciences. My love for chemistry and physics greatly influenced my decision to choose Chemical Engineering as my major for undergraduate studies. When it became clear that I wanted to pursue Chemical Engineering, I wanted to do so at the number one institute in the country and I achieved my goal by getting admission in the Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT, formerly UDCT).
During my undergraduate studies, I developed an interest in several core chemical engineering subjects such as Material and Energy Balance Computations (MEBC), Thermodynamics, Transport Phenomena, Interfacial Engineering and Separation processes. Studying thermodynamics gave me an insight into the problems faced while dealing multi-component and multi-phase syste...

It covers topics such as chemicals reactions, solutions, acid basis, and chemical thermodynamics in unique fashion that makes chemistry fun and easy to learn as well as understand. The book has no consistent build up or story to it. It simply moves from chemistry subject A to chemistry subject B, explaining the various components that make up the subject of chemistry.
In life and society as most of you know, chemistry is involved in everything in this entire world including; animals, plants, and even food! Although most people don’t like chemistry due to all the equations and “Stoichiometry”, it plays a significant role in everyday life. Thanks to many scientists in the past, we can now use the knowledge of their theories and postulates to find new technology and other scientific advancements to help the evolvement of many organisms in this world.
From the moment that I entered the Chemistry room at Windsor High School, I knew I was in trouble. That trouble came from realizing that almost every single Chemistry problem involved math, specifically math that required three to four equations along with written explanations about what the results meant. No matter how hard I tried on my homework and exams, I just could not understand how a problem could tell me that I needed the Ideal Gas Law as well as Faraday’s Law to know how many moles sodium chloride contained in one gram. My mind had trouble going along with the logic behind the math in Chemistry. The math in this class was not difficult; it was just confusing to know what steps must be taken to get the correct solution. In addition,
Whether it be the remodeling of a modern car or an improvement in the motherboard of a computer, inventing solutions and, in turn, contributing to the progression of society and technologies is an incredible feat. Throughout the course of history our world has seen a multitude of reputable inventors, from Alexander Graham Bell to Nikola Tesla, and Benjamin Franklin to Archimedes. These individuals are extremely intelligent but also have a passion and drive for innovation and problem solving. It is through much perseverance and creativity that they were able to extend technological boundaries and overcome problems that were encountered with past inventions. These individuals have developed and improved hundreds of inventions in order to
Many people fail to realise the importance of our economy, how diverse and interactive it is to our daily lives and the distinct role it plays in our constantly evolving economic climate. My initial interest stemmed from my lack of knowledge about the UK economy; resulting in the research about our recent financial crisis and from there it grew tenfold. I began to observe the situations around me from a different perspective, and with the help of micro and macroeconomic objectives, which are the fundamental foundations; I have been able to pursue this social science in far greater depth and understanding. It is a growing ambition of mine to explore what effect daily transactions and the conduct of millions of people like me has on our future in a domestic and global aspect. Further developing my study of economics will ensure I am able to explore such views to a higher level.

Though many people fail to realize it, chemistry is a subject essential to everyday life, due to the fact that it is the branch of science that deals with the identification of the substances of which matter is composed. But what we must understand is that everything in the universe is composed of matter, hence chemistry is necessary in learning more about the world and universe that we live in. There are many careers and fields affiliated with chemistry that people pursue to learn more about the composition of the universe, but for now, let us examine the logistics of three of these careers. These three careers involving chemistry are geochemistry, environmental chemistry, and chemical engineering.

Colorado Christian University feels like the right choice for me to pursue my bachelor’s degree in nursing. I have been a registered nurse since 2004 and have been working in the field ever since. I had my daughter at age 19. While in the hospital, I was intrigued by the nursing staff. That was the point in time that I became interested in becoming a nurse. I never gave much effort in high school, so attending college was a scary thought for me. I doubted myself, and therefore it took me several years to apply to and attend Front Range Community College. I have had thoughts of continuing my education in the past, but again, the fear of re-entering school has held me back. I didn’t think I could do it, and be working full time. I recently lost my nursing job that I have had
Chemical engineering, a prominent and growing career, requires a detailed understanding of the how and why chemical processes work and also how they can be further improved. To develop new improvised methods for these processes to function more useful and economical, a chemical engineer uses theories and laws of chemistry. They are, however, often referred to as the "universal engineer" because they must not only have a broad knowledge of chemistry and physics but also of mechanical and electrical engineering.
