You're probably right as long as no R&D Chemistry work or method development is involved. If it is, I'll just say I've never seen a good example of this in 10 years in industry.

I'd say it's probably more restricted to areas where the courses don't differ as much, such as certain parts of Europe

That is a very fair point. I'm exclusively referring to US trained ChemE's and US chemicals plants.

At my school, the only classes that a Chemistry major would take that ChemE major would not are 2 Inorganic chemistry classes and 2 advanced synthesis lab classes.

We share the same Chemistry, Ochem, Ochem Labs, biochem, and physical chemistry series (thermo, quantum, stat mech).

That's lot more in common than many schools I know of.
