I like these videos. As I teach my student thermo, mass transport, and separations I keep telling them that what we are trying to do is give them a way to think about problems, not the absolute answer. In reality they most likely be working with other types of engineers and working with vendors. At the end of the day they need to be able to solve a company’s problem within constraints like a budget, safety, and making sure you don’t buy the wrong thing. This is a great service for students. I am going to post your channel on my canvas page.
100% agree on the creativity part! I’m surprised at how there are a million different ways to do the same thing. That box analogy is a perfect description.
I am a chemical/process engineering student and You can not know how happy to discover your channel! I enjoy your videos, content, additionally, I would like to see some design, some working requirements, how you work as a process engineer or work on your projects, I would like to see some parts of it. By the way, tips for students, some books, channels and also projects as duty would be great! Keep it up, Eggs, thank You very much!
I shall express my feelin about the field of Chemical engineering, the rewards and the challenge it brings to me, I was a boilermaker for years and decided to go back for my Bachelors degree and I couldn’t be happier!!!
Word Up! Chemical engineering is such an interesting field, I would love to learn more about this up and coming field! I hope you keep making these engaging videos! I've subscribed and literally cannot wait for the next video!
My 8-year-old science and math loving child loves your channel. He says he plans to be a chemical engineer. Only time will tell, but in the meantime he is enjoying your content.
Haha wow. That is so awesome! He must be pretty sharp to keep up with my videos meant meant for people college age and up. 8 year old me wouldn't make it past the 2 minute mark before falling asleep! Props to him!
@Eggs the Engineer I don't think he understands all of the information (I understand none of it) but he understands the different engineers jobs. He is going back and forth between chemical and mechanical. I told him no need to rush. Finish second grade first. 🤣
Did you know what you were doing when you started your first job? I am currently a final year chemeng student and eventhough the content of the degree isn't awful it seems pretty scary to tackle these problems in real life without questions and modules guiding you on which tools to use.
Haha, I had only a faint idea of what I was doing when I started working my first job. School is like background for what you will learn on the job. Most engineering jobs will give you a mentor or senior engineer to work under for at least a few months before you are allowed to go off on your own. Even then, most people won't trust a new engineer to work 100% independently within even the first year unless they're doing something very simple/ low risk. Also, you may find that most problems in school are more technically challenging that problems you face on the job. So yeah, I wouldn't stress about that! :)
I am drowning. Awful burnout and problems focusing, which I've never experienced before, makes learning the stuff for my chemE courses SO MUCH HARDER. I can't even use outside resources bc they don't seem to exist...
I'm pretty much the same like you. I been in school for a while that I'm not sure if I love this major, but I definitely enjoy all the courses I'm taking.
@@NgocNguyen-wb8ry Yeah dude I mean I've just finished my mass transfer course. All my seniors said it's the toughest and all that crap but cruised through it
I’m really struggling in my 3rd year semester 2 now. Just started my design project (designing a Green Diesel plant) but I just kinda realised that I’m not really interested in this field. I think I don’t really enjoy designing something new, but more into something like an operator job (?) like working on production line (not sure is it called process engineer) honestly just got so lost after 2 years of studies 😭 any advice on what type of role i should go after?
I sort of feel the same except I'm a 1st year semester 2. I'm taking one chemE design course and it's okay but I'm not really sure it's what I want to do. Would you say the later courses get more interesting or am I better off trying something else?
I would say that being a process engineer is a lot of fun, most exciting job I've ever had. However the school work leading up to it can dull at times. Hang in there, try to get internships and research experience in areas you're interested in. That experience can space things out and maybe make the school work feel more meaningful
The difference between process engineering and chemical engineering is not much. If you don't like chemical engineering, I doubt if you will love process engineering. Do your research and be sure of what you really want.
I would choose chemical because it's more versatile. A chemical engineer can take any petroleum engineering job, but a petroleum engineer can't take just any chemical engineering job.
@@MariaPizarroKBlaah the 1st to middle step of oil is petroleum engineering role, middle step to real product ready to use is chemical engineering role
@@MariaPizarroKBlaah there’s upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors in oil & gas industry. The upstream (finding oil and drilling etc) involves petroleum eng. The downstream ( refining and processing oil products)is where chem eng typically work. So it depends on what part of the process you want to be involved in
Which has most popular and scope course ? Chemical and petroleum engineering Chemical engineering Chemical process engineer As a master degree ? Which is more better course or thesis base ? In job scope and study ? What better nd how they differ ?
It's a shame that many time what you study has no purpose in your job, but hey at least you can work wherever you want, from sales to technical roles to administration or R&D! Not so many degrees give you this range of jobs
I obtained my Masters of Chemical Engineering degree and went straight into a graduate process safety engineering role. Been working in the field for 2 years now (mostly reviewing designs, identifying safety critical devices, performing HAZOPs & LOPAs ect). After years of learning all the technical knowledge and passing all the exams, I rarely use any of what I learned. Any chemical engineering graduates here relate? I enjoy my work but can't help but feel like I'm not making the most of my degree. Is that a normal feeling for a grad? Did I make a bad call by going into field that isn't pure Process Eng? Any grads here get into a Process Engineering role and find that they do use what they learned at uni?
Really? I always have a fear and insecurity because after passing the exams I forgot most of the things which I learned, is it a problem? Should I repeat all the stuff one day?
@@saythetruth1396 I feel the same. The day after ever exam I felt like I lost all of my knowledge on the subject. I can pick it up again if I need to, but I seldom even encounter the majority of what I learnt in my degree after I graduated.
This is precisely how I feel, so relatable and I was wondering if this was normal for me to feel this way after I recently been employed as a chemical engineer at a manufacturing plant and I don't use any technical calculations I stayed day and night studying during my university years. @TheMooper27 how did you manage to work through this and how does one continue to be a valuable employee at your company?
@@gelsoncelestino3906 I've come to realise that the process of getting the engineering degree was more of a gauntlet to identify those that could be engineers from those who couldn't. In the workforce we seldom have to do anything that's not been done before, hence not much need for the first principles knowledge we studied at university. It's important that we understand the history and first principles of chemical engineering concepts but it's mostly as a means of identifying what knowledge to use in a given situation and if a presented result makes real world sense. As for being valued in the workplace, my advice would be to identify the specific skills your employer requires, then undertake additional training to refine and develop that skill set. For example, I'm a Process Safety Engineering consultant so my day to day work involves reviewing HAZOP, LOPA and HAZID results as well as conducting and reviewing formal safety assessments (FSAs). These can include fire and gas explosion studies, computational fluid dynamics and dispersion modelling. Once I knew that I'd be working with such things, I looked into the training offered by ICHEME and Engineers Australia to see if they had anything relevant to those areas and did some of their courses. Build a diverse skill set and get as much experience as you can early in your career, so that you can take on a wider variety of projects as your career develops. Getting your degree was step 1 in becoming an engineer, now you've got to gain experience and undertake additional self governed learning as you work to become chartered. Best of luck :)
hello, thank you to your work, I really like you video. I'm studying chemical engineering right now.Do you have any adviece to chemical engineering student or just graduated student? where should we star?
It's hard to compare the two, mechanical is more general and versatile. Chemical has a bit more chemistry/ research. Check out my recent FAQ video for more details, I answer this exact question!
I don't know much about sugar processing, though we have a number of plants here in the US, there may be more in areas that have more sugar agriculture.
@@insaneff6863 they are different in application of the chemistry, chem engineering studies from chemical materials to all the way in industrial level, biochem is more pure science focusing protein bindings, or things like that.
Hi, do you have any advice for someone who is almost finished his studying in chemEng but doesn't have any practical experience in it? I am quite insecure about whether I will succeed after graduation or not because I always have the thought that who will hire someone who hasn't enough knowledge and experience?
@Anthony Lino so i guess only one thing that i can tell you is there's no chemistry in chemical engineering. And about placements it depends on Uni to Uni
same here, when you study Chemical engineering at university, you study fancy scientific subjects, but when you have to get a job, it's really difficult because many positions even in chemical industry are covered by other engineers such as mechanical engineers or automation engineers, but chemical engineers can't do mechanical engineering jobs. Plus 99 percent of the job position are near big chimical plant in the middle of nowhere, and you have to work in risky and polluted environment, it's very difficult even change engineering field because recruiters tend to exclude chemical engineers for other industrial job position not related with chemical industries. I am passionate with computer science and fluid dynamics but I can't find a job related to these topics, so I think that for me, Mechanical engineering would be better, it's more versatile and allow you to cover so many job positions
