I have seen many job requirements asking programming for chemical engineering positions. If I had the chance to take a course on my own, which language / software would the best to learn? Just to put a useful word or sentence in my resume.
Python and matlab are very similar, so if you know one it's pretty easy to get up to speed on the other. Java is used by all the Comp sci people so it's sort of expected to know some java.
I left out the one we just added to our curriculum, it is still sort of up and coming but at my research job it is replacing Spss and most analysis and graphing software completely, r. It's also used for a lot of modeling which could have use depending on where you end up with chem e.
You're right, forgot about r. But then we don't get modern tools. I'm doing data mining with Excel for Pete's sake! Our IT nazis won't consider anything else.

My son is pursuing a Computer Science degree right now and he's learning "R", or at least learning about it. He says it was developed for Statistics, which I suppose can also be used for any science.

R is great for statistics. Python/MATLAB are great for pretty much all other quantitative sciences. I can't imagine chem eng needing something completely different. Python is free so I'd say learn it though I used MATLAB in school.
