    I am so happy I found your video! I am working now as an Environmental Consultant for an Engineering company, I have a Masters in Environmental Resource Management ( very management/business oriented) and a PostGrad in Environment monitoring and Engineering. My Bachelors is Social Sciences, and believe it or not I am starting a BEng in Chemical Engineering.
    My educational background won’t allow me to have more responsibilities and work within Concept/Design phase of a project.
    I am always the Implementer, making sure that there’s no environmental impacts from the projects we re running ( like construction)
    A BEng in Chemical Engineering is actually giving me the foundation I need to have a stake in new renewable technologies projects that are coming.
    Thank you so much for explaining this. Highly appreciated, I am glad I have good intuition in terms of.. future markets/ technological advancement

    Adding that list near the end was hilarious. I did not expect that. If people think this field is dying that’s good, more opportunities for me. I don’t care if what I’m doing has some big flashy name. The rigorous theories that help us understand how the world works and then being able to apply them to understand and make materials and processes is so much more satisfying to me.

    Actually, machine learning is being applied into some chemical engineering processes.
    But it's runs underneath the chemical process using control systems for automation.

      I think that too but I'll also say that's a pretty obvious conclusion more so as ChemE is really hard to automate but if we reach that point ChemE curriculum will have more IT, automation and controls courses. It's like saying Agronomy, CivilE, EE, Robotics, etc will stick as far as human existence like yes we need to eat, we need different kinds of infraestructure, electricity production, we will need robots in the future with automation, etc.

    I started out my career studying chemical engineering because I thought it would be a career that can never disappear.
    I’m now in another field and I can tell you I still feel this way. My belief is stronger actually, now that I have seen all the endless ways in which other fields will require chemical engineering input to advance. We constitute an essential element to advanced society.

    • @BenjaminPersson
      @BenjaminPersson 2 года назад

      I would argue that chemical engineers would be a cornerstone for the green revolution and thus increase the demand. If the price for both carbon as a resource and as a biproduct increases, companies will have to put resources into rethinking and restructuring their productions, exactly what chemical engineering is about. Methane and hydrogen for example is the building block for all production and right now that comes from fossil fuels. In the future we will have to find an economical way of producing these on a large scale using renewables. I think we thus need new chemical engineers that have been taught to always keep environmental sustainability in mind, not only economical or process sustainability. My university here in Sweden forces us to take a certain amount of courses geared towards environmental sustainability so I think new graduates will really make a difference to the field in this regard.
