This is the new term for industrial engineer.
Work in this field (which is what I do!) is filled with statistics, process control, and quality adherance. You could spend days calculating BOMs, routings, optimizing capacity and schedules, or inventory. Many process engineers like puzzles and like to continue to work at the same problem, trying to improve on specific value measures over time- things like machine down time, usage rates and batch efficiencies, days on hand of inventory, etc.
I find the field to be a more people oriented form of engineering, more interactive and creative. I migrated to it from the lab-techy engineering areas of chemical and mechanical. I enjoy it!

A Process engineer is NOT an Industrial engineer...where do these people get this stuff... lol...A process engineer is a more specialized position, developed by companies, a person with a degree in industrial engineering or other degrees may become a process engineer, but it would take several years of on the job training and experience in his particular endeavor or process in order for him to be called a process engineer. Not all scientist are rocket scientist and not all engineers are process engineers...

Process engineering is the other name of Control engineering on electrical engineering (EE), a control engineer try to stabilize systems by the means of State Space and Linear Control systems in most, they design all the systems you have ever seen....

Process Engineer is the same as Industrial Engenieer, which is what i am studying right now.
For me its awesome, it is so versatile, you could pretty much work anywhere because the field is so wide.
It is about making process more efficent, wheather their are manufacturing proccesses, or in services (banks, hotels, etc) or logistics (think fedex). It has to do with quality as well, since it is so trendy among companies the iso certification. It has to do with management, dessicion making, reducing costs, etc.
It is a very interesting field....i love it
