Talk:List of chemical engineers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Man, this is a short list. Can anyone verify the urban legend that CIndy Crawford studied chemical engineering?

Cindy attended Northwestern University but never graduated.

I removed Cindy Crawford's name. Studying one semester as a Chemical Engineer does not make you a chemical engineer. I think only people who should be on this list are chemical engineers and those who have made scientific discoveries related directly to the Chemical Engineering field. As in, discovery of distillation would be a chemistry discovery but design of a process to distill 50,000 barrels a day would be chemical engineering. 24.249.147.3

I don't like the way this page looks. Anyone object to making it a standard bulleted list? Or the name/known for/affiliation table is pretty nice; is there any way to use CSS or XML to make adding entries easy so noobs like me don't have to wrestle with too much markup code like | || etc? BTW, http://sdcc13.ucsd.edu/~aiche/xceleb.html says that Dolph Lundgren has a masters.

Agree it could look better but I'm not sure what to do yet. I'm trying to find more ChE's who have contributed a good bit of research to the field. Honestly, it is somewhat difficult as a lot of research, etc. isn't put up in front of the public's eye as much as research in other fields. Who would really want to read about a new way to perform gasification of coal other than someone in that area of research - Reflux 09:00, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Shouldn't this be a list of individuals that completed a chemical engineering program? I don't think Cindy Crawford and Ashton Kutcher deserve a place here.

I agree with this statement. Studing ChE for one semester doesn't make you a Chemical Engineer. I think people who made discoveries related to Chemical Engineer should be on the list though as your degree does not always dictate the work you will be studying/researching. Enviornmental, Chemical, and Petrleum engineering are closely related in their core ideas. Each one then has their own, specific and different area of study but could work in a ChE job position or do research that would directly benefit the chemical engineering field. 24.249.147.3 23:22, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Exactly... One quarter (or semester) in the chemical engineering major does not make you an engineer.

Perhaps they should be moved to something like a "Trivia" section at the bottom of the page?--GregRM 02:29, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree 100% that they should not be considered ChE24.249.147.3 23:27, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
