Established with the assistance of UCOR, CNS, Tate and Lyle, and additional partners, Roane State’s chemical engineering technology program trains students to work as chemical operators. A chemical operator monitors, controls, and troubleshoots automated chemical processes.
Graduates will be able to work in industries where chemical processes are used such as chemical manufacturing, food production, nuclear processing, petrochemical processing, metal refining, waste treatment, and automotive coatings, the press release said.
Program director Laura Hofman will discuss details of the program, job opportunities, and opportunities to work while studying. The event will also include hands-on activities, the press release said.
