My friend who studies chemical engineering recently got a graduate degree in materials as well, I think he got a side-degree or whatever you call those in either automation or electronics. Though he is specialized in metals, and not at all interested in polymers. He is especially interested in metal nanocoatings and nanomachines. He sometimes shows me his homework and I can barely understand half of it lol

Basically checking that they are operating safely and as planned?

I've been thinking about chemical engineering as a career path for a while now because it's such a flexible degree to have but do you know of other degrees that could potentially lead me toward jobs in the energy industry (aside from petroleum engineering since that is not an option in my country)? Maybe jobs like project design for different kinds of power plants.
