Chemical Engineers are also known as process Engineers please google. Infact, Manufacturing of any goods and services are splitted into two Process and Unit Operation. Process involves Chemical reactions while Unit operations involves taking advantage of physical properties to produce goods or materials. You cant convince me from what am sure of. Except if production engineering is different from process engineering. Kajiko?

First off, I hope this discussion isn't a "Mechanical Engineer vs Chemical Engineer" argument. I wouldn't want to get into that kind of argument/discussion cos in most industries, no particular discipline is "stand-alone". Every discipline is just one vital part of a "whole" system.

That being said, I think you are misunderstanding my point. Let me give an illustration; if a graduate fresh off secondary school decides to study "Production Engineering", he would in actual fact be taking same courses with his Mechanical Engineering counterpart in another university. Check online for course outlines for "Production Engineering" and compare with that of "Mechanical Engineering".

Some schools refer to their Mechanical dept. as "Mechanical & Production" department (ill be amazed if you ever find a Chemical & Production department).

Secondly "Control & Automation" (usually referred to Instrumentation & Controls) is a post majorly occupied by Electrical Engineering graduates.

Please don't get confused with English translations of Engineering terminologies.

I can write a whole article with respect to the functions of a Mechanical and a Process Engineer in the oil and gas industry; and it will differ greatly with the stuffs you listed. It will be based on what I get to see on a daily basis.

The discussion isn't about chemical engineers being referred to as Process Engineers. Its about Chemical Engineers being referred to as Production engineers. And i disagreed with you, saying Production Engineering was closer to Mechanical Engineering than Chemical Engineering.

But then again I can sense there is no convincing you on this subject matter.

I rest my case sir....
