* Chemical Process Safety: Fundamentals with Applications by Crowl and Louvar

* Technology, Law, and the Working Environment by Ashford and Caldart

== Fundamentals ==

=== <u>Prerequisites</u> ===
For almost all these books, a working knowledge of [[Physics Textbook Recommendations#High School|Introductory Physics]], [[Chemistry Textbook Recommendations#High School - General Chemistry|General Chemistry]], [[Mathematics#Multivariable and Vector Calculus|Multivariable Calculus]], [[Mathematics#Ordinary Differential Equations|Ordinary Differential Equations]] and [[Mathematics#Partial Differential Equations|Partial Differential Equations]] is assumed. A general engineering foundation in [[Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering#Engineering Mechanics#Statics|Statics]], [[Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering#Mechanics of Materials |Mechanics of Materials]], [[Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering|Material Science]] is important to reactor and unit operation design. Furthermore, chemical engineers are expected to pick up [[Chemistry Textbook Recommendations#Organic Chemistry|Organic Chemistry]] and [[Chemistry Textbook Recommendations#Physical Chemistry|Quantum Chemistry]] (the Thermal Chemistry section in Physical Chemistry is superseded by Chemical Thermodynamics below) as they progress but it is not immediately necessary and could be done at anytime. Knowledge of [[Mathematics#Applied Linear Algebra|Linear Algebra]], programming ([[Programming Textbook Recommendations#Matlab|Matlab]] tends to be the most popular but [[Programming Textbook Recommendations#C.2B.2B|C++]] isn't unheard of either), and [[Computer Science and Engineering#Numerical Analysis and Methods|Numerical Methods]] (especially involving DEs) is essential for professional chemical engineering.
