Hello Student,

Hope you are doing well.I am giving you information about both the fields, select the one in which you are interested. Both have good scope.

Biotechnology, often abbreviated to biotech, is the area of biology that uses living processes, organisms or systems to manufacture products or technology intended to improve the quality of human life. Depending on the technology, tools and applications involved, biotechnology can overlap with molecular biology, bionics, bioengineering, genetic engineering and nanotechnology.
Biotechnology, like other advanced technologies, has the potential for misuse. Concern about this has led to efforts by some groups to enact legislation restricting or banning certain processes or programs, such as human cloning and embryonic stem-cell research.

Career opportunities:


Clinical Laboratory Technician
Biological Supplier Manufacturing
Environmental Technician
Food Safety Mechanism
Pharmaceutical Research Technician



Chemical engineering: Chemical engineers work to improve the quality of people's lives. Most items used by people everyday need chemical engineers to produce them. Chemical engineers help to end starvation, disease and poverty. They are working to save the environment by developing alternative technologies to combat acid rain, lead pollution and the greenhouse effect.

Hello,

It's all up to you! Chemical engineering plays a significant part in energy production and entails constructing reactors for various chemical reactions. Chemical engineering is divided into several main areas.

  • Petroleum Processing
  • Pharmaceutical Science
  • Energy Storage
  • Energy production
  • Simulation of various reactions and reactors

Chemical engineering is preferable if any of these things interest you.

Biotechnology includes research on living things, among other things. It entails conducting gene and DNA investigations, testing novel medications on animals, etc. Engineering is less important in biotech and more of a science. In biotech, math is relatively underrepresented.

Finally, it is determined by what you enjoy doing. Instead of determining which field offers more prospects, follow your passions. Each field offers fantastic opportunities. It depends on us how we prepare ourselves to fill those roles.

Thank You
