How much chemistry is involved in genetic engineering?

What chemical engineer need to study after first year of engineering?

• I heard that in chemical engineering there is no deep chemistry involved but rather chemical engineering is a combination of different things. In petroleum what do you need to study?

• Answer:

  Yes there is deep chemistry involved in getting the diploma of a Chemical Engineer and in the career itself. Where I am taking Chemical Engineering, it is required to take all the way up to Polymer Chemistry and sometimes beyond that, which is high level stuff. (Not to mention all the classes to take before Polymer Chem) If you want to go into petroleum, then the materials side, instead of the bio-chem side, of Chemical Engineering is what you would want to take. This requires Polymer Chemistry, mentioned above, and several materials engineering classes on top of the regular requirements of a Chem-E. The knowledge of the elements and how they react with each other is vitally important to making anything. However, this question should really be asked to your adviser. It's different based on school and program.
