Good mention on Fortran! I'm a Chem Engineer, now doing a PhD on reservoir fluids phase equilibria and all are thermodynamic calculations are done with Fortran codes. While the learning curve might start a little steep compared to Python, once the basics are learn it's a really easy to use language that gets incredible performance!
Hey thanks for your input! I use fortran in some routines, not quite used to it but you'll find them in some applications... Python is for sure taking over
For Chemical Process Engineers VBA is probably the best option becasuse is almost free, companies do not intent to spend much money on expensive software. Python is another good option. Don't waste your time with Matlab unless you are in academia. It is very true that VBA depends a lot on the programming style or logic of the engineer, you could be "programming in spanish" but your coworker could be "programming in italian," you can understand each other but you are missing something for sure.
You can use Octave which is free and has 99% compatibility with Matlab syntax? I’ve used VBA but it’s nowhere near as efficient or convenient as MatLab. The built in functions are very powerful in MatLab and VBA has nothing comparable in my experience.
I'm a first year Chemical Engineering student. This year we did Python, C++ and Matlab. Its good to know that these languages can help me as an upcoming chemical engineer. I''ll continue learning these languages on my spare time.
Not gonna lie... I love studying chemical engineering stuff but wouldn't stand making a living cracking my head open trying to untagle so many complex issues on a daily basis! I'm gonna be a hobby chemical engineer by the end of the course.
The best programming language is probably none of them! 😝! 90% of your work should be in industry standard software. Customers expect reliable proven software and will often reject work performed using software developed in house. Writing your own code is a useful skill and takes intellect, determination and persistence. However, it’s possible to make a costly even dangerous mistake when building bespoke code. Code is hard to check and verify, even when it’s carefully structured and heavily commented. Mix up your unit conversions or multiply instead of raising to a power and you could be heading towards kaboom 💥 If you develop code make sure you verify it very carefully and if practicable compare the results to experimental data or the results of proven commercial applications. Document any verification, key assumptions and limitations. I use spreadsheets and MatLab. I was a fan of VBA at one point but ultimately it’s slow to develop and cumbersome in action with very few relevant scientific examples out there to learn from. MatLab is the way to go!

Hey Luis, long time no see! Glad to have you back here! Im with you, VBA might be a good option for entry level!

Indeed, although many will not even end up using them, I think it is really important to have a backgound in coding
SMATH Studio you missed ...coupled with python its a giant
Oh, Im not quite familiar with it... Ill check it out!
Are there any chem eng online programs to learn most of things
For sure, I offer some courses but there are many others that do that as well.
@@ChemicalEngineeringGuy can you suggest some resources
New on your channel loving it❤
Thats great! welcome on board!
I ask for quality control in chemical engineering courses are ??
Ok, Ill prepare some content on that soon!
@@ChemicalEngineeringGuy thanks alot
Keep it up Mr. Ortega. I'm always here to learn.
Thanks my friend, looking forward to share more vids, any specific topic you want to learn from?
@@ChemicalEngineeringGuy Would you mind to make a video talking about the book: Elementary Principles of Chemical Process by Richard M. Felder?
@@rhamadannyomar2850 For sure... I already have a video (one of my oldest ones) but will consider doing a "remake" :)

Hey there! true, it might seem overwhelming, but you get used to this! make no worries, just go for it!
I use julia
thats great to hear, Ive very few engineers working with Julia, how is it going?
@@ChemicalEngineeringGuy same as python.
Nice to meet you
always a pleasure
Sure to be a great video!
Thanks Jup! Just Trying to do my best =))
Mr Ortega python is user friendly
True, but i meant for starters from 0, it may be overwhelming =)
Great 💌
thanks!

For sure, own code is better... software used inhouse is also much more common that ppl think! Thanks for your comment!
Seems like Python is the most versatile of all..
Indeed, it is a 100% programming language, although VBA may be more common in chemE environment
