Orientation to Chemical Engineering – Ayşe Moral, F. Zehra Özçelik, Gülin Ersöz, Sümer M. Peker – Akademisyen Kitabevi

This book addresses the chemical engineering students who are to begin their education towaıds a life-long career. Seldom do the students realize that what they are about to begin, is not only an education in a branch of engineering, but acquisition of a frame of mind, an outlook into life that will set their future life stylesss. Indeed the way the subject matter is treated and the approach to problems and case studies will in time be a part ot the students’ personality. As an example, three close friends with similar attitudes may choose to study law, medicine and engineering. Their friendship may last lile-long, but in a tew years after graduation from the university and starting their career, they will realize that their approach to problems and frames of mind has changed. Approach to problems at work, transforms to an approach tovvard handling daily situations in life as time goes by.Our deep belief in this concept is indicated with the name of the book, Orientation to Chemical Engineering, instead of being Introduction to Chemical Engineering. Much can be said about the approach and frame of mind of a Chemical engineer: practicality, order-of-magnitude approach, analytical mind and ability to synthesize knowledge in different areas of Science in the solution of a practical problem are some of the aspects.
