From computer hardware engineer to biochemical engineer
33 of the 60 essential skills of a biochemical engineer are already essential for a computer hardware engineer — about 55% of the job, before you learn anything new. It is the closest move from computer hardware engineer in the whole taxonomy.
These numbers compare two occupations, not you and a job. What you personally already cover depends on what you have actually done.

What a biochemical engineer does
Biochemical engineers research on the field of life science striving for new discoveries. They convert those findings into chemical solutions that can improve the wellbeing of society such as vaccines, tissue repair, crops improvement and green technologies advances such as cleaner fuels from natural resources.
