I thought I was the only one who had my lowest grades ever in first year first semester, thank you for giving me hope. And totally off topic but you're mad pretty!
I'm at the end of my 3rd year in ChemE (at my university it's out of 5 years w/ basically 1 year of 2 Co-Op blocks) It's always interesting to hear the similar and different courses other peeps take. I'm looking to do my second Co-Op in Oil and Gas next year (any tips/ advice is appreciated!) Thanks for sharing your experience w/ this awesome video! :D
I took chemical engineering and finished 24 years ago. I am amazed that you did not mentioned courses in financial as I did courses in Accounting and Economic decision making. If you design a plant you have to cost it in term of capital in building it and the amount of money it cost to run it. You also did not mentioned about process safety where you had to consider all aspects of safety. I also did courses in powder technology that involved unit operations dealing with solids such as mixing powders etc ( after all most problems in dealing with chemical plants are those dealing with solids).;It seems your course was more limited.
Could you please tell us how you get an engineering jobs during summer? Thank you for your information in this video, it means a lot for me as a 2nd year student in chemical engineering too!
I have a question: Is chemical engineering hard or easy to study? I live in Germany and after my TSLC ( in German it's called Fachabitur) I would like to study this.
It's definitely interesting working with other engineering students! Personally I really enjoyed all my team projects throughout my degree but I have heard horror stories lol
Hey, I'm currently studying chemical engineering. I am on my 2nd year. I'm going to be honest with you, the only time you'll have for yourself is probably the weekends if you're lucky. Note the gym and campus is right next to each other and 2miles from home, so I want to make my day work: 04:50 - Jog to the gym 06:40 - Jog home 06:50 - Take a quick shower, get ready 07:10 - Go to campus on my skateboard 07:30 to 17:45 - Attend classes 17:45 - Return home 18:05 to 20:00 - Complete homework assignments and tests if there are any 20:00 - Eat and shower (I watch some videos while doing that) And sometimes I chill until 22:00 and then go to bed.
The job I work now actually doesn’t have anything to do with chemical engineering! Also it did take me a bit to find a job as I graduated right at the beginning of the pandemic. But the degree is super beneficial to build problem solving skills which are desirable in any job!
