Your last point about not worrying about the future is spot on... Your time is better spent dedicating yourself to finding pleasure and fascination in the task at hand! Psychologically as well as in terms of your career. Keep up the good work Shawn!
you are the first chem engg youtuber really making consistent, relatable and useful content and I appreciate it so much as a third year chem engg student !! your advice at the end about just going along for the ride and it all working out is something I needed to hear so thank you 😊
haha thank you Nikee! There's also Eggs who makes excellent videos if you need another reliable source. Yep, going along for the ride is great advice, not just for school but for work, life, and everything in between :)
Not a chemical engineering student but one thing I wish I did earlier in my undergrad years is to just connect with working professionals and shadowing. I think that would've helped me figure out what kinds of jobs I'm interested in faster and also just eliminate options faster too ahahaha
Shawn can you please make a video about softwares for chemical engineers , and also about things that a chemical engineer should improve alone (Autodedact)
Thank you so much for the advice. I'm in community college but transferring to pursue chemE. My plan is to use the knowledge to build my own business(manufacturing goods/etc). Do you feel like ChemE provides sufficient insight to pursue that while also holding a job? I hope this comment makes sense, and good luck on your switch to software engineering! I'd like to hear more from that too!
Can you give me some motivation because now i’m studying chemical engineering in my 1st year and sometimes i feel that everything in engineering field is just too hard for me to understand especially on the calculus subject.
Is it normal to not to pass exam for the 1st. I really dedicated all my free time studying.... I feel too sad and hopeless for failing 2 classes so far.. I am afraid of getting the results from the other exams ://
Don't worry!! Chemical engineering is tough and tons of people get absolutely wrecked in school, and go on to to great things after graduating. Stick through it, do internships, and work on yourself! Cheers!
Hii, I am a highschool student and thinking about studying ChemE because i love chemistry and maths. Do alot of people regret majoring in ChemE? How do i know if ChemE is right for me?
Third year in chem e. Taking thermodynamics/reaction engineering/ eng mathemetics 3/ fluid mechanics/ electrochem/ polymer chem in this semester. Im dyin bro
I am having a very hard time finding a starting job in Chemical Engineering (process engineering) , like an internship or a way to gain experience. Do you have any tips? Where should I apply? You’re doing great work!

This might or might not be relevant depending on what your educational system is like, but: don't listen to people who were supposed to graduate at least 2-3 semesters ago but still take the same classes as you. Most of the time they will make professors seem worse than they actually are, since these students usually fall behind because of some rather strict professors, and hearing their stories will make it seem like it's impossible to pass these professors' classes. It would have saved me a TON of exam stress if I didn't let these stories get to me.
I am from the Philippines and I really want to work abroad when I graduate, can you give us some tips for chem E students who wants to work internationally? And do you also have any recommendations on how and where we can find international internships for chem E students since there are little to no opportunities for college students for internships in the Philippines
@@shawn.builds thank you so much, it's india sorry, autocorrect....😅 Through you, I came to know how the chem E industry works and if I should get into it or not! 🤗
hmm I would say build a strong support group of friends within ChE, that's what really saved my mental health and kept me going. I always had friends to study with or to rant to
Yep, a huge part of chemical engineering is minimizing human/environmental impact through efficient process engineering. It is slightly different from the type of engineering you'll be doing as an Environmental Engineer but probably a decent amount of overlap
I have been following you for quite some time now and I have a few thoughts to share. I have graduated previous summer after 8 years of studies (BSc and MSc in chem eng) and I find it literally impossible to get a job. I have graduated previous summer after spending much of my 20s studying and as I am looking back now, I would probably say that chem eng is more of a dying field at this point. After 1000 job applications, I have actually give up on sending applications. I should point out that I am located in the EU and the situation is getting worse and worse. I have friends that graduated 3-4 years ago with MSc degrees and they are still unemployed to this day or they do other jobs to pay the bills. It's actually really frustrating to see that your past 7-8 years of studies have passed in vain and you have to start over at 25-26 years old.
@@shawn.builds I would say 80-90% (based on LinkedIn). The issue is that there are a lot of graduates each year and an extremely limited demand for chemical engineers. Most of my grad class are now moving away from Chem Eng and towards DS and ML. I am doing the same but we started on the back foot. We are starting over again at 25-26 and its kind of hard to accept it. That's life I guess, I got a huge lesson from this one though and I am glad that I help younger fellows to turn away from a dead-end career (I think apart from Software and DS/ML, most of eng careers are pretty-much dying).
Yeah, I know in my case since I will be going to grad school in the future keeping the relationships I have with my professors or in your case rekindle them if you do plan on going at some point the recommendation letters from them can make a difference in the application process. :)
how about the mathematics for chemical engineering? and the laplace things? do we still need those basics since we have the simulation software this day?
Bro what's your payroll range just wanna know or just tell about your growth in the company also do make a video on various job profile and the one u like (if not made yet)
Very true comments. I have a PhD in ChemE. I was always driven to study very hard to get good grades, mostly because if I didn't I would feel anxiety, which I hated. I was always over-prepared. I got one B an as undergraduate (in a music elective), all the rest were A's.

Big facts
Nice information. I think this is well said a lot of student including me are going through these issues.

Its funny, i just graduated and my regrets are exactly the same as yours.
I guess these are common mistakes!

Any regrets In Industrial Enginerring ?
im not in industrial engineering so i have no clue
Can you give me some motivation because now i’m studying chemical engineering in my 1st year and sometimes i feel that everything in engineering field is just too hard for me to understand especially on the calculus subject.
It doesn’t get easier you just get better! For math, I watched lots of Khan Academy videos. Don’t trust your lecturers to teach you well haha

Hi! I am an upcoming 1st yr ChE student and I feel somehow overwhelmed but I wanted to push the degree. Any advice how can I start strong?

Can i join a design team even if I dont have a knowledge about designing or are there any team os such that will teach and guide us?

Yep, even if you don’t do anything academia related, it’ll still make for a really valuable connection
Kuya Shawn , your advice helps me a lot to continue to this field of ChE , fightChEng 🥰🎉
Let's go!!
how about the mathematics for chemical engineering? and the laplace things?
do we still need those basics since we have the simulation software this day?
You should be able to understand it, but you don’t need to memorize it. If it comes up during work I’m sure you’d be able to pick it up again
what to do just comleting you chemical engineering bachelor degree?
Your job name
Process Engineer
@@shawn.builds where do you work?
networking😭😭 kinda hard..
yep.. it ain't easy that's for sure
Bro what's your payroll range just wanna know or just tell about your growth in the company also do make a video on various job profile and the one u like (if not made yet)
Look up process engineers average salaries in Canada, it should be somewhere around there

you're welcome!
Would you mind mentioning examples of extracurricular that are most suitable for the degree?
Design teams and research
