The same cannot be said, however, about the established criteria for certifying that an individual has mastery of those principles. Requirements for obtaining a professional license or charter in the field vary widely from country to country, and in the U.S. they even vary from state to state.

The late 1990s was a booming time in the chemical process industries (CPI), with salary increases greater than ever and an unprecedented demand for Ch.E. expertise. This prosperity quickly gave way to harder times in the early 2000s, when engineers struggled to keep their salary increases on par with inflation. Luck had turned around again in recent years with steadily increasing pay, but in light of the recent economic crisis, Ch.E.s wonder — when will the CPI feel the hit of the changing economy?... http://www.che.com/career_tools/professional_development/4311.html Sat, 1 Nov 2008 0:00:00 EDT Monitoring Our Atmosphere Please refer to the Editor’s Page, April 2008: Mr. Gerald Ondrey’s last sentence sums it up.
