The Best Industries for Chemical Engineers
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2024
- In this video, I talk about the various industries you can work in as a chemical engineer.
Disclaimers:
1) Do your own research. I am by no means an expert. I have only worked in 3 different industries - the most reliable source is from someone who has actually worked in that industry.
2) There is no "best industry" - job openings are dependent on where you live, the economy, where you live, and what you are interested in.
3) Many job postings can be filled by various engineering disciplines. E.g. I was interviewed for a Controls and Automation role that was usually for Electrical Engineers but due to my experiences, I was seen as a good fit.

You showed up in my recommendations out of the blue and now I’m so glad you did because these videos are really helpful! Thank you!
thanks for tuning in! appreciate it Rudra :D
Chemical Engineers are very versatile. They can do anything. They are great Problem Solvers, have a mind for processes and are usually avid learners. A Chemical Engineering degree is great grounding for many opportunities. I’m a Chemical Engineer by qualification- my passion now is teaching Public Speaking skills.
thats so awesome, any tips for improving public speaking skills?
I’m a second year chemical engineer student at western university and I love your channel. Great video!
Glad to help out! Thanks for watching Paula :D

I really love this video.
Actually, I was spending time thinking about What area I should start. So now I'll consider starting in whatever I want in fact it helps me a lot to familiarize myself with the chemical industry.
It's my last year in university and start to work on energy projects as a researcher.
Thank you so much from Peru, Shawm.
That's so exciting to hear! Let me know how it all works out :)

:)
Love your videos man!!🔥
Thanks for watching Tinodashe!!
Thanks for the video and effort man, this was a very interesting one
i'm happy it was worth the effort!
Your videos are really insightful, I’m hoping to study chemical engineering next year. I’m mainly interested in petrochemicals and their potential replacements, though I would like to work in any other chemical manufacturing industry.
Hey thank you so much, I work in industry of polymer in Brazil, and your video help me know more about the industry in the world.
Great work man,
Love from Uganda
Thanks for the video...it was very informative👍
Thanks for watching Radha!
Great video
Thank you very much.
You’re welcome !
Thank you sir. This video is really good. i never thought that this type of job frofile also included in chemical engineering.
:D
thank you so much for such a detailed video.
You're very welcome!

you're welcome!!
Thank you for your suggestion 🙂🙂
you're welcome!
Great video , i like it
you're welcome!
hey bro , this video is really helpful to me . i'm just don't know much about chem engr
i've got plenty more vids on my channel. check out my chem E playlist in the description
Eventually i got it thanks for this:-)
no problem
Great video.Please make a video on chemical engineers in UK
dont know much about chemical engineering in the UK sorry
Thanks man for such detailed info. I am currently an undergrad in Polymer Engineering.❤️
Glad you enjoyed! Why did you choose Polymer Engineering?
@@shawn.builds Wasn't able to make the cut in ChE at my versity. Isn't Polymer Engg a ChE sister branch?
Really appreciated.
Im doing bachelor of chemical engineering. Can you give a suggestion on how could I continue my journey after graduate. I could like to continue my career in pharmaceutical. Thank you for your sharing so far. Thank you
Great video! I am currently a first year ChemE student ( I hope I will survive!) and I'm expecting for more videos about our chosen field. Your videos helps me a lot to keep going despite of my setbacks. May I just ask, Is ChemE in demand in Canada? Or is there a high probability that Canada will accept foreign Engr. for work? I am hoping to work there soon, HOPING. Thank You!
It’s region dependent but in Alberta/Ontario it’s pretty good. Also if you’re ok to live in more rural areas there will always be a job for you.
@@shawn.builds Thanks man! Is it necessary to have an experience first right? Before working in foreign country like Canada? Thank You! have a great day ahead!
Very informative and motivating video.
Currently studying my masters in Germany and the past few days I did some more research about the job opportunities. I plan to get into the oil and gas industry!
Do you have any tips which tools I could learn to get prepared for my job entry? Im dealing with Aspen and want to learn python aswell. Thank you very much. You just got a new sub :D
aspen plus and python are great! tbh your best bet is to have internship/extracurricular experience, but if not, try to do some aspen/python projects related to oil and gas... i've never worked in oil and gas so i honestly have a limited perspective on this. if you join the discord channel, you'll also get to ask more ppl about this!
Hai. You can try to do more case studies involving steady state and dynamic simulation.
For steady state, you can work on more case studies on separator, heat exchaners, gas dehydration, or gas compressor performance optimization using Aspen Plus and Aspen Hysis while for dynamic simulation, you can use Aspen as well and also if you have the license, use OLGA for flow assurance under dynamic conditions.
Involves and familiarize your self in those softwares and case studies, and it will increase the chance to land job in oil and gas.
so interesting...
Very informative video thanks! I have a question as you got the chance to work in three different industries.. what helped you into getting these jobs? Like did you take certificates from online and/or in person courses? If you have any tips to make a good resume tell us please😊
The first internship I got required almost no experience, I just talked about my school projects. The second and third internships I got based on that first work experience, as well as other school projects and design teams that I was a part of. The best resume tip I can give you is to take lots of internships, do research or join student teams because those are the things that really shine on a resume, not online courses or certificates
Please make a video on final year projects how we can select our fyp and what we can do in our bachelor degree what type of projects that we can work on them kindly make on it.
Usually your capstone professors should help you with this, either you can do something yourself or reach out to industries for ideas
Can process/chemical engineers work as accountants? I just did course on process economics, evaluation of projects /proposal and their economic feasibility. If possible, can you provide some insight about type of industry. Thank you for the content you create, it is very helpful.
Skills in cranking out Videos and podcasts will be most useful for chemical companies, public utilities and the like. Having a degree in engineering makes you credible. Sincerly. Jakob Eriksen.
I have exams in 10 mins now , I'm 13 , but am watch your video as it was recommended for me 😂😁
😂 go study bruh
Hey shawn! I like to work in Canada if I become a chem. engineer someday. I hope we can be friends there. I want connection, at least i wont be alone in that country too... I'm a fellow Filipino. Please remember me I keep on supporting your channel.
Definitely! Let me know if you ever come work in Canada!
Nice vid! I’m just curious, as an asian chemical engineer, do you find it difficult to work in western country? (Considering the possible discriminations and competitive enviroment)
Great question! I have been in work places that weren’t always the most diverse but I’ve never been discriminated. I live in Canada which is a little more accepting of different cultures than our neighbour down south I think :)
Chemical Engineer here
Working online as a consultant
Can you please suggest some good specialization areas for ms in chemical engineering in usa ?
not sure honestly, haven't done my masters
Very Ecstatic sir..May I know what is your work in the field of chemical engineering?
process development in the hydrogen industry
Hello.. I m a final year Chemical Engineering student.. How can i find job? Like what is the procedure to reach out the industries for seeking job?
check out my playlist "student tips"
How about batteries, i think that’s pretty good, and waste treatment and energy should be a hot pot as well
Yup! Can never go wrong with those
Hello sir!......am studying in final year........remain 2 months am complete my B.Tech degree , I don’t know what to do next ??? Am like to join and learn petroleum and refining ???? Give u comments!!!!!
internships!
I am first year chemical engineering student.so, which online courses suitable for this year and upcoming years
Umm not sure on that sorry haha I graduated already. Probably electives are better online tho
Thank you sir
Hi bro
I am a chemical engineer with 2 years experience as a junior manager in steel industry. After that i started doing my own business in ceramic tile field. Now i want to restart my chemical engineering career.. how can i restart after having a career gap of 8 years ?
im not sure, maybe talk to a career counsellor
But Process Engineers are the closest that you would get to a Chemical Engineer since it entails a lot of Mathematics and Physics knowledge and you apply it in the real world like eg. Paint manufacturing plant.
Hi Shawn! I am currently majoring in CHME 3rd year. I am planning to shift to Canada after my graduation for working there, I need some information regarding it if you dont could you please help me with your mail
feel free to ask here
what was ur final year project on ?
direct air CCS and water purification plant
@@shawn.builds nice... I want to go into pharmaceutical.. what would you prefer I could do, any of your options ?
@@dhruvp246 im sure any pharmaceutical production plant would be a great add to your resume. im not familiar with the industry so idk much sorry!
@@shawn.builds thanks man.. Great videos 🔥
Yo I've messaged you on ig.. I need some help..
