Most important subject important which are important from the industry perspective will obviously depend on the type of the industry you want to end up after the degree, Broadly there are three main classification of Job you can do after acquiring a chemical degree,

1. Process Engineer - Simply put here you collect the data from the chemical plant and maintain the plant in it's predesigned optimum condition and act upon the chemical plant emergency.

2. Research and development department - Here you design new equipment, reactor, measuring device, make new empirical equations, do analysis on data, prove theories or make new inventions.

3. Chemical Plant design - Here you will design the chemical plant, from the research work to development of pilot plant to the erection of chemical plant. (These books are based on my opinion)

So the most important topics and related books any chemical engineer should be familiar with is,

First I will cover the books that cover the basics and important parts of multiple subjects in Chemical Engineering, which is very important to start with,

Unit Operations of Chemical Engineering by Warren McCabe, Julian Smith, Peter Harriott

Intro To Chem Engineering by Badger

Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer, and Mass Transfer: Chemical Engineering Practice by K S Raju

Now if we look at each subject, we have

Process calculation - STOICHIOMETRY AND PROCESS CALCULATIONS by K V Narayanan and B Lakshmikutty

Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics -  Basic Chemical Thermodynamics by E Brian Smith

Fluid Mechanics - Introduction to Chemical Engineering Fluid Mechanics by William Murray Deen

Mechanical Operation -MECHANICAL OPERATIONS by SWAIN

Heat Transfer- Heat transfer application Principles and application by Binay K Dutta

Mass Transfer Operations -Mass-transfer Operations by Robert Ewald Treybal

Chemical Reaction Engineering- Chemical Reaction Engineering by Octave Levenspiel and Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering by H. Scott Foggler

Instrumentation and Process Control - Chemical Process Control by George Stephanopoulos and Process Systems Analysis and Control by LeBlanc Coughanowr

Plant Design and Economics- Plant Design and Economics for Chemical Engineers by Max S. Peters, Klaus D. Timmerhaus, Ronald E. West

If you are interested in higher studies in theoretical studies of chemical engineering,

Transport Phenomena -Transport Phenomena By R. Byron Bird, Warren E. Stewart, Edwin N.

For design purposes there is Handbook for Chemical Engineers

Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook by Robert H. Perry, Don W. Green

And if you are into Core working of chemical plant, you should be familiar with all Lieberman textbooks like, These books are to be referred after you complete all the basic books, otherwise you will find it difficult to comprehend.
