I would like to know how to become a cosmetic engineer after doing a degree in chem. eng.? Im really interested in the making of cosmetics, daily personal care products...My favourite subjects are bio and chem.. is chem eng a good option to pursue my interest? i would love to some day work with loreal and simple..but the thing is im not as passionate in physics as much as i love bio and chem....thanks

Hi Rose Anne! Chemical engineers absolutely work in the cosmetics industry. There are even colleges that have certificate programs in cosmetics engineering, as a part of the chemical engineering degree! Any engineering degree gives you the foundation to be able to problem solve with data using sound scientific methods, and then chemical engineers specialize more in chemistry, materials, fluids, and solids processing. I encourage you to keep chemical engineering and even chemistry on your list of potential degrees to pursue!

Hello Mrs. Glauser, my name is Angela. I am a current student in high school and was wondering if you could answer a few interview questions to help with a project I am working on. The topic of my project is why there aren't many women interested in the engineering field, and your experience will help me to gain a strong source. I would really like more girls to see the benefits of this career choice. If you have a moment of your time to spare, I ask if you'd be so kind to answer my questions below. Thank you.1. Do you think there should be more women engineers today? Why or why not?2. Would women be better engineers referring to skill base? Why?3. Could women earn more money in the field than men?4. What would be a good way to encourage women to follow this career pathway?5. In your experience, have you seen the number of women in the field increase or decrease? Thank you for your time.

Hi Angela! I would like to meet you - I live in Spring, TX as well! I have worked as a chemical engineer for 10 years and I would be happy to answer these questions, as I'm very passionate about more women pursuing equal opportunity in engineering. Please contact me!
