    I was a HAZOP Scribe for my previous internship, and now I have to run one on my senior design project. It’s tedious, to say the least, but the most important part of the design process. This video gives me hope that all the all nighters working on HYSYS won’t die in vain 😂

    Damn chemical engineering looks so cool, i would really like to get master degree on chemical engineering after finishing my bachelor degree on pure chemistry, still it was just a dream for me now as i'm still on first year (second semester) and quantum chemistry is kicking my butt because of my weak knowledge of calculus and other maths. Thanks for showing me this kind of stuff you do on chemical engineering! I just found out about you and now your video are my motivation to keep going further in chemistry

    Hey, sorry, I know this video is old, but how would you describe the job market for chemical engineering, especially for newer grads? I'm in Grade 12 and thinking of applying to chemical engineering since I find it interesting but I keep hearing people say there aren’t many jobs available for newer grads and that most require at least 3-5 years of experience. Would you say this is true, and do you think this varies by province? Any input is appreciated. Thank you!

    • @shawn.builds
      @shawn.builds  Месяц назад

      I’m not sure anymore tbh I’ve been out of chem E for 2 years. But definitely varies by location as chemical engineers more so work at industrial facilities. It’s worth noting that not all my classmates work as chemical engineers, a lot went into other fields like business / engineering related, but not specifically chemical engineering roles
