Thank you so much for this video, i was really confused about studying chemical engineering but now i feel a bit relieved. I would like you to tell us more about what you do in your coops and internships like what do they ask you to do and stuff like these.
This was such a good video! I can relate so much and everything that you said is sooo true. Keep up the awesome vids!
Tara Ryan thanks so much!
love the positivity. Every other chemE video is so pessimistic
unrealistic aswell, except this one ruclips.net/video/We6crowUIkM/видео.html
Mechanical Engineering RUclipsr for the 1st time. Nice video👍🏾
I’m a ChemE at Kansas State University and this video was cool to see a different perspective. I am a freshman in sophomore curriculum, but your overall curriculum lines up quite similarly to ours. So awesome. Love hearing about your schooling!
Lexi Yerton that’s awesome! Congrats on being ahead of the game. I feel like a grandma in my classes after coming back from my co-op lol!
What field of chemical engineering are you planning on going into?
I love this video! I’m glad to see a girl do a challenging major. This motivates me more to do this major. You are a true inspiration. 😃
I'm a freshman that just finished my first semester of ChemE! It's been really hard, but it's so nice to see someone who is also going through it!
congrats on finishing your first semester!! best of luck going forward and thanks for watching :)
What field of ChemE are you going into?
I know chemical engineering can be tough but it's interesting I think more than other courses..
@@deontaerobinson2662 As of right now I think that I want to do some sort of material science or maybe pharmaceutical research! I still don't really have research experience yet so we'll see if I change my mind though.
thank you so much for this video! I just got accepted in chem eng and it answered a few of my questions!
Laetixia I’m so happy to hear that! Thanks for watching :)
@@ellelovesharrystyles I was wondering, what are all the career paths you could take with a chem eng degree? :)
Laetixia most careers in chemical engineering only need a bachelor’s degree, and then you’re ready to go into the field. There’s also the potential to continue your education to a masters or doctorate in chemical engineering. It can also provide a foundation for entrepreneurship or going to medical school! In terms of particular fields chemE’s are in: energy/power, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing just about anything you can imagine!
@@ellelovesharrystyles okayy thank you so much!
This video helped a lot!! I’m a ChemE but I’ve always been a little worried because every person I know who did ChemE either hated it or switched to Mechanical. It’s nice to hear someone talking about the difficulty and challenges in an positive light!!! Super psyched to see where it goes! Thank you!
Yes! It's not all bad :) thank you so much for watching!
Hey Kat Smith. How are you doing with ChemE? Is it really bad? I'm considering it since I really like chemistry and I'm good at math
“Some times the common sense isn’t there” hahaha it’s literally me as a fellow chemE
I’m glad someone can relate lol
Thank you for the video! I am hoping to study chemical engineering in the UK and I was wondering if you had completed any work experience in the related field prior to your studies? If so what was it? Also, had you completed any 'projects' related to the subject and if so again what was it?
Thank you :)
Im a ChemE too and having a hard time in equipment design and plant design
Hey girl, thanks for the upload. I'm in my 3rd year, second semester and really enjoy your videos. Good luck with your studies.
Hi! Thank you so much. Best of luck to you, too!
thank u 4 this video....th r's a lot of infrmation... but 4 da' next vid can u show some ur paperwork or note...tq huhu
Hey Emma! Good content! ChemE is the best
I just got accepted into my #1 college to study chemE. Thanks for the insight!
Hi I subscribed because I am an aspiring Chemical Engineer. Ur channel is a big help. Thank you🖤
Janzzel Gutierrez so glad I can help! Thank you for watching and subscribing it means a lot :)
I LOVE chemistry but am not so good at mechanics and was wondering if instead of studying chemistry i could study chemical engineering and get to study just or at least a lot of chem mechanisms reaction etc.
Fellow chem e’s gotta stick together. Love your videos
this video is great and really motivating. thanks a lot❤️
thanks for watching!
Thanks!
This video helped me a lot, thank you
Doir Flare awesome! Thank you for watching!
Thx I am doing foundation for chemical engineering
I would say that the thermodynamics aspect of chemical engineering is what makes it know as the most dificult.
Same here!
Girl we need more chemical engineers in out life . We can make life better . But i have an engineer more like question. How is your skill in designing and drafting ??
Even though I suck at math but I’m really good at chemistry in high school, even though math is my weak point but if I have to get better at math just to achieve and get my degree in chemistry I will do it
Tq for being a good inspiration. I'll continue my degree in chemical engineering next month🙃kinda nervous but everytg is good after listening to you😘
good luck! thanks for watching!
Just the thought of organic chemistry 1 and 2 made me stick with aerospace engineering.
haha i can't blame you!! i couldn't do that much physics so props to you for that!
Is organic chem really that dreadful?
King Steff It’s a weed out class. There’s a saying at my university, “Organic Chemistry stops more people from becoming doctors than any other class.” It’s made to be really difficult.
However, if you study hard, people pass it. It’s possible.
@@deontaerobinson2662 It can actually be really fun if you're a big patterns kind of guy, but if all you want to do is crunch numbers you aren't gonna like *nucleophilicity*
I loved Organic. I took extra credits, and did my senior thesis on a synthesis.
Incoming 2nd year also, in our curriculum we’re taking only 1 org chem and it will be this semester, together with chem e calculations, statics and eng math. this sem will be really hard. been listening to your tips in your videos. thank you.
I had organic chemistry and chemE calculations together a few years ago and it was a very hard semester. You got it - good luck!
Can you recommend me specs of laptop for CAD softwares
Hi, I enjoyed your video. I was wondering what computer you recommend for chemical engineering?
Milena Zeru hi, thanks for watching! I would recommend one that has big enough processing power and screen resolution for any software you will need. Otherwise anything will do. I would recommend getting a PC and not a Mac. It can be helpful to check your school’s website, oftentimes it will have the computer requirements listed.
Im 14 yrs old and i am planning to take a chemistry engineering in the future. Thankyou for your information about that, i hope you'll create more videos:)
I hope the info helped, thank you so much for watching! I have some more chemical engineering videos planned for the next few weeks.
What is the main difference between an engineering degree in chemical engineering and an engineering degree in Engineering Chemistry
Hi Emma, your video is so great! It help me a lot in find my path. I still wondering what if I want to do in the cosmetic field, is Chemical Engineering suitable for me?
i do not know too much about chemical engineers' role in the cosmetics industry, but i know they have one. i'd recommend doing some research to see what opportunities exist because that's not my personal field of interest. thanks for watching!!
Thank you so much, Emma! ❤️
I am Chemical Engineering student who needs to pass all modules to finish it required time, is it possible for me to do it in my half 2nd year start 3rd year...
idk if you’ll still answer this but, can chemical engineer graduates work in the cosmetic field? im planning to take up chem e on college ☺️
Im currently studying first year of senior but im preparing myself for college
Thanks for this video! I would like to know what laptop you are using? 😄
For school work I use an HP spectre!
@@ellelovesharrystyles ok thanks!
I started pharmacy but dropped out after the third semester because it was not for me but i enjoyed chemistry, I’ve enjoyed chem since high school, and chemical engineering was my dream career but im afraid its hard and im not smart enough for it, any tips?
It's mostly physics and maths with a chemical foundation. I'd say try it! Just make sure you network with other classmates, stay on track with deadlines and make sure your notes are up to date
What did u get on your act?
Hello i am considering being in this feid strongly. I think it would be awesome! This may be a silly question but would you say you have to give a lot of presentations in front of the class? It’s pretty nerve racking thinking about it but definitely won’t stop me if so.
No, many of my chemical engineering classes do not require presentations. I have heard as you move into upper level classes they might.
Emma's Little Life Blog Awesome thanks!
@@ellelovesharrystyles lol you guys got it nice... I am giving presentation since 1st trimester... Lol.
Like we need to give a presentation at end of every 4 months. And I also do internship every alternate 4 months. It's hard.
But I think it's really important and it's informative in lot of aspects.
Hey ! I’m a chem eng student too. Actually far away Arabian Gulf area. Your school way in teaching thermo sounds shocking to me. We take it as two semester course ( thermo 1 , thermo2 ). I’m heading to my third year . But I always wonder what can I do to know more about chemical eng. So if you have any useful links/organizations or good books please let us know. Thank you for this video. Best of luck.
thank you for watching! i will have some more chemical engineering/student related videos coming out soon to start the new semester, so keep an eye out for that. :)
I begin my classes for chemical engineering in about a month and from what ive seen, everything seems pretty overwhelming and scary to be honest. I took physics in my high school and it was kind of difficult at sometimes only because i didnt study a whole lot and i know to not do that again. What preparations do you think i should make before classes start and is there anything i should refresh to study before classes as well? Or any other important information i should know. If you respond, thanks in advance!
it definitely can be overwhelming! i'm not sure what level of coursework you're on, but here are a few of my big tips: get a planner to keep track of all your to-do's. it's one less thing to worry about if you have it all written down in an easy to follow way. Also, talk to upperclassmen and your professors about what to expect for certain classes. You'd be surprised how helpful people can be! Early on there is a lot of math and some physics so definitely brush up on calculus! I'll be posting some more chemical engineering/student related videos soon, so keep an eye out for that. :)
@@ellelovesharrystyles Hello again!
Little disapointing but i wasnt able to attend my desired college this year, rather I am attending a community college near me to get my prerequisites out of the way for either next year or the year to follow. Just going to be direct, one of my classes this semester is seminar 140 and an assignment requires me to conduct some form of interview to someone within my pathway. It doesnt seem like it has to be a long interview, just one to get questions across and any advice you can give. If you are able to do this, I can just send an email with questions so it doesnt take an extra amount of time out of your schedule. If not, I completely understand as you probably have an extremely busy schedule and I'd hate to force you in doing something you dont have time for. Hopefully you see this in time, I can do this as soon as possible.
Thanks for your time and consideration!
Hi! A but late,but how many foreign engineers are there in the US?
I am from Germany, I’d love to come work in the US, as mom is American and currently lives there, as I am staying with my dad here in Berlin.
An engineer from Germany here. You might want to get into an American Company in Germany and work your transfer to the US after some years. Procter and Gamble, Dow Chemicals, 3M are some exmaples you can check out depending on your Industry Interest. All the Best!
Great video!
I have a question, if I don't like chemistry but I do find really interesting how you can transform materials into useful things, should I study chem eng?
Hi! If you don't like chemistry, do bear in mind that most chem eng degrees require basic chemistry, organic chemistry, along with another chemistry elective. This is a small amount of courses compared to your overall course load, but if you are going to be miserable during those 5 or 6 classes it might not be worth it!
@@ellelovesharrystyles Ok! Thank you ❤
I just graduated chemical engineering last March 2020 but it's a bittersweet finish because the corona virus situation cancelled our graduation. - Philippines
Congrats!!!... But really; can i ask what are those subjects that people find it hard to pass?? I'll turn Grade 12 soon and kinda interested on becoming a chemical engineer.
Congrats! I haven't graduated yet but it's been sad to see my friends miss out on their graduation. I hope you can find another way to celebrate!
What school po kayo naggraduate? Hehe btw congrats po :)
Thanks you very much I am studying chemical engineering (ChE) @Nigeria
But I need some guides
how much time spend in university as a chemical engineering student ? as in how many hours do you've classes for
My school (in the U.S.) is on the semester system and I usually take 15-18 hours per semester. About 120 credit hours in most programs are required to graduate.
my dislike for physics also kinda pushed me towards chem eng.! but i wanted to ask wat kind of laptop do you need in college for chem eng.
Usually your university will have a technology website that lists the necessary computer specs for your major. You will probably need a laptop that can handle running CHEMCAD along with some other CAD software for engineering.
Can chemE work in labs?
this might sound like a dumb question lol but i’ve been quite set on majoring in chemistry but recently i’ve been looking into wanting to become a chemical engineer. what i’m asking is can i go into the chemical engineering field with just a chemistry degree or does it require me majoring and getting degree in something different?
shania christina not a dumb question at all! Chemistry and chemical engineering are two entirely different fields/degrees. In order to be a chemical engineer, you need an accredited chemical engineering degree (at least in the US, I’m sure it’s similar elsewhere). Chemistry deals more with research/lab work. Chemical engineering should honestly be renamed Process Engineering, because it’s really about the design and scaling of (oftentimes) chemical processes. I hope this helps!
Nice video..please fix the sound because we can’t hear you very well ❤️
thank you! and thanks for the feedback - i will work on improving that in the future.
Chemical Engineering is simply to industrialize the chemical processes maintaining the various constraints of economics, safety, environment, sustainability etc.More importantly Chemical Engineering discipline is more vocational rather than academics.
I am 2nd year BE chemical engineering, in my knowledge, i realized it is very hard and challenging subject
Good luck in your studies! Thanks for watching.
I don’t know why am I not scared of that 6 hours of homework. I am doing a preparatory program at Saudi Aramco, and they are gonna send me abroad to study chemical engineering. Though the terrifying facts about the major u told in this video, I feel mooooore excited to begin my studyings😭😭😭😭
You're making it seem simple but am scared
Chemical engineering 🤜🤛😁👍.
People are literally being so unsupportive and not encouraging with chemical engineering but I really am so passionate and want to become a cosmetic chemist! I just believe and know I will do well if I believe in myself and honestly just trick my brain into loving hard subjects 🤪
I love your attitude towards it, you can do it! best of luck with your studies :)
I literally want to do the same! I'll start my BS in ChemEng next year and I'm scared that it'll be too difficult & it'll get me to oil plants which is really not what I'm trying to do... How is it going for you?
@@koyuki108 hey! I finish my first year in may and so far it isn’t all bad I’ve had calc and chem classes and that’s what I focus on and forget I have other classes. LOL don’t worry u got this just believe in yourself !!!
Are maths, chemistry and physics good enough A-levels for becoming a chemical engineer? I don't do biology
yes they are the perfect a-levels. The degree is mostly physics based theoretically
@@padraighamilton7633 thanks for letting me know! 👍
Can chemical engineer work in power plants
Yes! I know of chemical engineers who have gone on to work in power plants. There is coal, natural gas, nuclear, etc.
I hate Physics too except Thermodynamics and Nuclear Physics.
I want to be engineer
repping the preds! nice!
yeah !! go preds : )
I hate physics too man!! Only 3 more years and I will also be a chemical engineer!
Glad you can relate - good luck!!
Im a graduate ChemE 🙃
There are many lecture videos about chemistry/chemical engineering majors on my RUclips channel. I hope it helps you a lot in studying.
can i with a bachelor of chemical and pharmaceutical process engineering apply and be accepted for a master in chemical engineering ?????
Zaki Gh aloui I don’t know - I have not heard of a program for chemical and pharmaceutical process engineering where I am from. I would contact the school you’re interested in to ask.
blog it's process engineer program, can i with a bachelor of this degree study chemical engineering ???
u need a microphone its harder 2 hear u
There's lot of physics involved incl chem eng , even more so than chem itself , do I'm not sure how u could do chem eng if u hate physics .
Also I love chem eng , but organic chem makes me fucking sick
So*
