Every chemical engineer should own Perry's Handbook. If you can afford it, you should buy it while in college. You will need it for your professional exam as well.

Apart from Perrys,
Applied process design for chemical and petrochemical plants (all volumes) by Ernest Ludwig is considered to be a classic.
Process heat transfer by DQ Kern
Unit operations of chemical engineering by McCabe and Smith
I am a mechanical engineer but I found these three books extremely helpful in my job.

I'm a mechanical engineer and I have used Perry's Handbook for Chemical Engineers since I first graduated in 1961
It is a treasure trove of information.

i'll objective to respond to, yet my solutions isn't see you later as your questions. i'll apply the numbers you used on your question. a million) i'll thoroughly say that interior the first 10 years of my occupation I had used each significant area I studied in engineering and the linked technology classes. I have not used each ingredient - there replaced into way too a lot! yet I actually were both fortunate and that i have pursued positions that allowed me to be deeply and widely experienced 2) you may want to do something, so it is basically too extensive to respond to very well. I or friends of mine have truly specialist in promoting, technical sales, analytical chemistry, organic and organic processing, inorganic, prescription drugs, bio-clinical, paper, petro-chem., determination fuels, environmental engineering, safe practices, upkeep, utilities, proejct administration, procedure operations, procedure layout, scale-up, modeling, and others. 3) What you study contained in the faculty room is a short intro, or a survey. You study a lot more desirable intensive in practice. such various of the failings that are too complicated for the faculty room finally end up being belongings you do in software. You surely the right thanks to seem issues up or the thanks to initiate to mind-set a topic contained in the faculty room. 4) keep on with. Ask. Use your college's employment center as a source. verify with your consultant. make some telephone calls to significant and small businesses. 5) There are not any panaceas. there are continuously negatives with the positives. you'd be very much dissatisfied in case you assume in the different case. And continuously shop in ideas, you're the surely one accountable on your occupation and progression. no longer you manager or an assigned "mentor"

The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics is another good one to have. If you can only afford one, get Perry's.

I'm doing Chem Engg too and my former lecturer has always 'promoted' Perry's. I'm not exactly sure what are the titles but I think they're pretty straight and easy on the language. I could get for you the titles if you want.
PM (Private message) me and I'll get the titles for you.
