Me to uni freshmen every year during orientation/induction day.

This sounds like the ME courses I take. Interesting

Chemical engineering began as an offshoot of mechanical engineering when the chemists and mechanical engineers got tired of yelling at each other in early chemical factories

Factually very true, well the first part atleast xD

E.g., the Haber-Bosch Process: One of the greatest chemical inventions of humanity.

The Haber guy was a pure chemist, the Bosch guy was a MechE, with a passion for Organic Chemistry (i think?). The Bosch guy used Engg. principles to design high pressured vessels that could withstand the high Pressure +Temperature of the Ammonia manufacturing process, and boost its yield as well on a large scale.

^ Fast-forward today this is what the average ChemEngg curriculum is, e.g., Distillation Towers, Reactors, Piping, Pumps, Tanks, and much more.

Pretty sure it was all Haber who did the thought work including the engineering I don’t think Bosch did much.

Well I am pretty sure they were both joint-recipients for the Nobel Prize. I remember reading about them on the IChemE Blogs and their "The Chemical Engineer" Magazine/Journal since I did my thesis on Mineral NPK Liquid Fertilizers lol

actually one of habers or boschs students did much of the heavy lifting, but never got any recognition lmao

Damn, I heard this happened multiple times in history so i'm not suprised.

Care to drop a link or something ? So I can read more and argue with my fellow engineering friends with more precision lmao
