Field of Chemical Engineering Flashcards
(109 cards)
responsible for the creation and development of new technology
wherein all consumers use or will be utilizing in the future
electronics industry
covers creation, designing, and selling
which makes it a promising commerce
electronics industry
contribution of chemical engineers in electronics industry
development of semiconductor materials, miniaturization, maintaining purity, mass production
backbone of modern electronics
semiconductor materials
who paved the way for the commercial production of integrated circuits, driving the
exponential growth of electronic today
chemical engineers as recognized some materials’ superior properties and potential for large-scale production
involves scaling down large, early electronic components into
today’s portable devices
miniaturization
this is a critical step required in manufacturing—standards even stricter than those in food
processing
maintaining the rigorous purity
standards
Chemical engineers apply principles of fluid mechanics,
crystallization, and even heat transfer to ensure that each is produced at the highest
quality and efficiency
mass production
prominent Chemical Engineers in the electronics industry
Andrew Grove, Robert Noyce, Nick Holonyak Jr.
CEO of intel corporation
andrew grove
Co-founder of Fairchild Semiconductor
and Intel
Robert Noyce
Co-invented the integrated circuit (IC) in 1958,
which revolutionized computing by allowing complex circuits to be
miniaturized onto a single chip
Robert Noyce
Worked extensively with materials and
semiconductors, using his chemical engineering background to
improve electronics technology
Nick Holonyak Jr.
Invented the first visible-spectrum light-emitting
diode (LED) in 1962, now widely used in displays, lighting, and
communication systems
Nick Holonyak Jr.
when did the journey of chemical engineering in the electronics industry began in the Philippines
1960s to 1970s
when did the Philippine Electronics
Industry Association was founded
1972
when did the Philippines became a top exporter of
semiconductors
1990s
fuel production and distribution encompass this broad commerce
energy industry
driving force of all
other industries for it provides them with the necessary power i.e. (gas and electricity) to
operate
energy industry
two types of energy resources
non-renewable and renewable
petroleum products, oil, nuclear, coal etc. have scarce or
limited sources and cannot be replenished within a person’s lifetime
nonrenewable resources
wind and solar on the other hand, are virtually infinite or inexhaustible
renewable resources
knowledge needed in energy production
physical, molecular, chemical, and materials
sciences to solve problems in the energy, environment, and sustainability
Contribution of chemical engineers in the energy industry
generate, store, and distribute energy efficiently such as lithium
battery, fossil fuels, and alternative fuels
