Explore Interesting, Challenging, Intri written by Zaki Yamani Zakaria and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-08 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author was previously a practicing engineer. Being very vague about the chemical engineering industry during his student life urged him to improve the situation. Wouldn't it be nice if somebody can tell and share what they can expect from the industry? It will be some sort of a chemical engineering informal education for the students and other junior engineers. That is why the author progressively and continuously shares some of his experiences in this book. The author sincerely hopes it can provide at least some useful information for fellow young chemical engineers and chemical engineering students. He also believes it's a good thing if other professional and practicing engineers out there can do the same for others to learn. It will be a great contribution. The book contains the author's experience sharing from his research in university, a bit of oil and gas exposure as well as oil and fats industry. The book tagline is "Learn something about chemical engineering that is not in your textbook."Reviews: "I read Zaki's writings from 2008, it has been 10 years that I am following his interesting web based publications. There is always something to learn from his writings and more importantly those are not in standard text books. Zaki is one of the rare chemical engineering professionals who understand the value of dissemination of knowledge to public as well as young chemical professionals. Generally in traditional engineering fields such as chemical and process engineering, knowledge is being transferred one-to-one which is quite slow and inefficient. However, effort of Zaki and such knowledge sharing professionals will change the eco-system in chemical engineering for good!" - Dr. Thushara Subasinghe, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka"Ramblings of A Chemical Engineer! The title says it all. It is a compilation of wonderful stories of life as a student and chemical engineer. Zaki has managed to shine a light on chemical engineering world by sharing good stories, wonderful experiences, topical issues and much more. And all this in an entertaining way! Thank you Zaki, for putting your experiences 'in word' so many of us can learn, get inspired, and be motivated by your pen!"- Dr. Aziatul Niza Sadikin, School of Chemical & Energy Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia "Ramblings of A Chemical Engineer is a good book which features the real life experience sharing by Zaki & indeed beneficial to students, young engineer or academics who have not had opportunities to be in the chemical process or related industries. Thumbs up to the author!"- Dr. Siti Shawalliah Idris, Universiti Teknologi MARA"I enjoyed this book very much and would recommend it to any chemical engineering student, junior chemical engineer or just chemical engineering enthusiast regardless of age."- Tarig Hussein, CTP Trainee in an American multinational engineering, procurement, construction and installation company based in Europe.About the Author: Zaki Yamani B. Zakaria has been fond to be a chemical engineer since he was 14 and in 1999 he earned his Chemical Engineering bachelor degree. He has been in various industries such as oil and gas as well as oil and fats. He realized that there was lack of information or sharing about real chemical engineering career, experiences and exposure from practicing engineer; and that was the reason he started Chemical Engineering World blog in 2006, which received overwhelming responses from chemical engineering students and junior engineers around the globe. In 2008, he started Chemical Engineering Facebook Page which managed to attract 29k followers. His personal mission is to help build interest, excitement and enhance knowledge within the chemical engineering community in line with his favourite tagline, "Learn something about chemical engineering that is not in your textbook."
