There are many path that a chemical and biochemical engineer graduates may look forward.....
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Academia Paths through Research and Continuing Education:
After going through a successful undergraduate experience as an engineer, its off to graduate school!!! The main requirement is to take the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) by ETS organization, and apply to your campus of interest. Several ways you can use your knowledge in graduate school by following either:
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program - Generally a 5-7 year program being a teacher assistance (TA), research assistance (RA), and/or developing a PhD thesis. ( Most college would offer full-ride scholarships or fellowships for graduate student majoring in science or engineering.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Medical School program (M.D. path)- Goes through several trainning in shifts of varies protocol. A great to recieve medical doctor degree (MD) on your title.

Professional Engineer (PE) Paths:
Next big step after receiving an engineering degree is to become a true professional-licensure, provided by the National Society of Proessional Engineers..
The requirement is :
Step 1:
|
| Graduation
The first step is graduating from an ABET-accredited engineering program at a college or university. ABET stands for Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, the nationally recognized accrediting organization for engineering and technology curricula.
|
| Step 2: | | FE Exam
The first exam in the licensure process is the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE). This exam is offered in April and October every year. Most students take the exam right before graduation or soon after while the technical information they've studied is still fresh in their minds. Once you pass the exam, you are classified as an intern, also known as Engineering Intern (EI) or Engineer-in-Training (EIT).
|
| Step 3: | | Work Experience
After passing the FE exam, you will continue your journey toward professional licensure by gaining engineering experience. Many jurisdictions have specific requirements about the type of experience you need to gain. Most require that you gain experience under the supervision of someone who is already licensed, and that your experience involve increasing levels of responsibility. Once you begin work, contact your licensing board to find out what experience is needed and talk with professional engineers in your company to find out how you can gain this experience.
|
| Step 4: | | PE Exam
Once you have gained the appropriate experience required, you can take the second exam in the licensure process, the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE). This exam is given in a variety of engineering disciplines. Most disciplines are offered in both April and October, but some are offered only in October. |
