Do you think chemical engineering is worth all that work???! 

WHAT IS STEM CLASSES?

@@mcarun3prasath736 Science, Technology, engineering, mathematics class

@@mcarun3prasath736 the T and E is worth it. I've seen so many S and M grads struggle hard.

@@joelmatus9442 I’ve also seen the Es and Ts struggle hard too!

​@@joelmatus9442ain't M good as well? Especially statistics?

🤢🤢🤢🤢, electrical all the eay

@@Anonymoose66Gwhy does electric suck and why are the others better? Looking to study one

@@moonlance3496 Electrical is probably the best tbh, mechanical, software and civil are also really good. Mechatronics, chemical and materials engineering are also good options. I was just joking because personally I prefer Aerospace and Mechatronics however these are more specialized fields and it's considered better to do electrical or mechanical instead because you have more job opportunities, also you can get a masters in either one with a mechanical/electrical engineering bachelors I believe, however this is dependent on the university of choice. It's important to consider cost of living, tuition, course qualifications, prestige, ect, GL.

Lol, I always laugh at this. I’m going to school for engineering in my 30’s so I can work normal hours. I’ve worked 12-16 hours, 21-30 straight at a time for 10 years. This is a vacation.

@@patricksimoneau7647 how ? Haha you fucking beast I work a 6 hour part time and come home tired I want to do so much more though

As someone who is currently pursuing biomedical engineering, I find myself at a crossroads, feeling a bit lost and uncertain about my path forward. It would be an honor and a privilege to connect with you and seek your guidance on this exciting but challenging journey. Your impressive success in biomedical engineering is a testament to your dedication, knowledge, and skills.❤❤

Masters? Internship experience?

You are making 6 figures bro that’s not just decent

Bullshit

without classes its abt 40 hrs for me. classes + research take up about 20 hrs a week, making the total 60 hrs on avg, 70-80 for exam weeks

In India. OST people end up doing service desk for Dell..

India needs more scientists and engineers that aren’t in IT. Good luck!

As a chemical engineer I partially approve this comment.

Why?

@@peterk.2108 I guess when it comes to engineering in India, people only really think of software and IT. There is also this thing where the Indian engineering curriculum is hella outdated so many companies don’t hire. Since software is a bit newer it’s easier to get a job compared to other engineering fields. Unfortunately the government doesn’t care enough to update the curriculums for future members of society.

U need love for chemical engineering ❤...not luck

@@arkaprabhoshome3520 yeah yeah but my classes are just started so i need more tym to love it every seniors saying that it so hard to study

All the bestt

@@user-br4dz8qj6b thank you

Bro how's the classes

Hey, any idea why software engineers are paid the most right now? Their work seems easier compared to that of a mechanical or chemical engineer even though those are also in high demand. Not interested in engineering whatsoever lol, my dad’s a software engineer and he was telling me that mechanical engineering was much harder than IT. (He majored in mechanical but somehow transitioned into SE).

@@NR-ou3hr well engineering degrees do require at least 1 coding class, so they get a little experience. I have a friend whoa dad transitioned from chemical engineering to SE. I think maybe the amount of jobs in Software dev jobs is a reason why. Chemical engineers hwve a h8gher salary average than mechanicsl, but I dont know precisely why, other than the fact that petroleum jobs pay the highest(oil companies have more money than even Intel and most tech jobs, so they can easily pay more.) I suspect that theres so many aoftware jobs because all industries are modernizing their business with tablets, newer Point Of Sale Software, online ordering of food and other merchandise, modernizing of cars with touchscreens and new capabilities, etc. There are far more software than computer hardware jobs. I ak jot an engineer, but going back to school to get into engineering and/or experimental physics. So I may do a Physics major, Engineering Physics major, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or chemical engineering. Maybe Materials science and engineering as well. Majors like Aerospace engineering or computer engineering I will consider too. My dad went mechanical and worked for whirlpool but never did any programming for his job.

@@NR-ou3hr and if its programming robots to do an obstacle course, that likely has alot more math than web dev for example so I presume thats pretty hard anyway.

@@randallmcgrath9345 Robotics? Yes, I suppose so. He also works for National Grid so depends on the company too. What really grinds my gears is that he slaved for years in IBM but only started being paid fairly when he became a freaking project manager he had to fight to get to a higher position when others were getting undeserved promotions. (Lot of them know jackshit abt software) I mean, we’re immigrants too so that might be a hidden reason 😆

@@NR-ou3hr hmm. IBM is on my list of companies to work for, so thats sad to hear.

Can you provide any information about your job title, experience, location, or estimate salary?

Don't be, unless he drops out. If he finishes that program his prospects are amazing

The median salary reported by the govt is 105k. The fuck are u talking about

Complete cap and depends on industry. Process engineers in Houston make anywhere from 80-100k out of school depending on the company.

@@cg-rl1mn for every company that pays well there’s 10 others that are underpaying and hiring people overseas through work visas.

Midwest here and starting is at around 75k

This isn’t true. Actually the notion that companies are outsourcing their labor overseas is now very irrelevant… the labor cost in China is getting increasingly expensive. Companies are now looking to leaving china and looking elsewhere to develop further. We now see the opposite trend compare to a couple years ago where industries are favoring workers here in the US, especially in STEM.

In what way, good or bad?

​@@jaygaming928good way

Explain me, Im going to be junior in 6 months

Hmph, anything looks good when you’re not an engineer. I wish scientists were paid at least a little closer to what engineers are paid.

@@NR-ou3hr with a PhD, chemists and what not get paid a lot more, but with just a biology degree, theres not much practical application (like coding, or even math/data analysis). I used to be a bio major and the difficulty of the degree was not even close to engineering. But in general I agree that research should be better funded, especially more than other non stem things.

@@brendanmeyer1613Wow, thank you! I really want to go into chem, probably biochemistry and contribute to the field while also being able to afford middle class. I want a Phd too since I want to conduct research and/or go into biotech. Was getting really disheartened by what people were saying but further research and your comment made me feel a lot more confident in my career path! Have a lot of respect for what engineers do; I just like finding answers to questions and data much more than designing! Also, my father is a software engineer and while it does pay well, his job seems really boring for someone like me. He also admitted that mechanical engineering which he initially majored in was a lot harder than what he is doing now even though software is paid better so that does seem unfair. It’s not even a case of higher demand since mechanical engineers are still needed a lot. His colleague is a biochem major who ended up doing very well in software engineering after a quick course in coding. Granted, she is a brilliant person in general but seems like there is fluidity and leeway in STEM degrees compared to non STEM. Engineering degree does seem pretty hard but then again, most STEM degrees are. I feel like pure science is harder in the sense that you’re trained to be an expert in that field and know the ins and outs/pursue higher education while engineering is harder in that you have to be a “jack of all trades” and learn how to apply what the scientists discover in the real world, which means more courses and heavier workload. Pure science is like an intricate meal while engineering is a large buffet consisting of simpler meals. Is that a good analogy/understanding? Though I will agree, bio is really easy compared to others lol Thank you and good luck! STEM deserves the world. I wrote a lot but it was very cathartic and eye opening for me. I’m excited for my future education and career path where I get to work with brilliant scientists AND engineers to solve important problems. I’m still just a high school student but no matter what I end up doing, I will strive to be nothing but the best. How is salary for PhDs in engineering btw? Is it higher than PhD scientists?

Are you american?

High school teachers don't make 80k where I live (Texas, USA)

abt the same difficulty. you have to take a lot of the same courses bc air is a fluid, you study aerodynamics in aero, and fluid dynamics in chemE (+ thermo, the worst). Theres a chemical component in chemE and a structural component in aero. Just depends on what you like.

Is that good chemical engineering in vit i also got admission

@@YAZGamer it is nice because placements 100 percent

@@YAZGamer let's meet in class

​@@surendharsakthinathan8400 hey bro did class start yet?

@@VasudevKrishna-ul2fv not yet

It depends upon you. Chemical Engineering means no chemistry. You’ll be dealing with alot with differential equations in order to design a reactor or to study the flow or to obtain a certain parameter under specified condition like pressure, temperature, etc…

@@Mansourhnh I like both aspects. but I'm not sure of chemistry will lead me to my ambitions in the future. I think that engineering will open more doors. but I like chemistry and engineering.

I'm a ChemE student, there's a little bit of chemistry involved, and having some knowledge of chemistry can give you an advantage. I really like the classes and have a lot of fun and also agony studying but it's fun agony.

​@@gazmodiusoh is it😢 I don't have knowledge on chemistry but I got selected for Nit Calicut for chemical engineering but if that course is easy then I'll be..

if you think you’d be the smartest person out of a line up of 200 ppl, and you have the dedication for a PhD then go for chemistry, its much more fulfilling (research, inventing new materials, medicine, etc). If you think you’d be the smartest out if a lineup of 100 ppl and are ready to be done with college in four years, then ChemEng. Chemistry is physics, visualization, memory/recall. ChenE is HEAVYmath/physics/coding. Also dont get me wrong, chemE degree is significantly harder than a regular chemistry degree. The problem is to do anything with a chemistry degree, you need a PhD, which doesnt require you to be that smart, but to go anywhere after that PhD, you need to be reeeaally dedicated to chemistry and the top of some field.

if you like chemistry, but not physics, engineering, and math, i would just study chemistry tbh

@@baldability I haven’t taken physics yet but it interests me. I’m good at math and enjoy it, and I’m also taking engineering and it’s fun

@@jeeptoeIf you like thermodynamics, that’s mostly what ChemE is. I would also recommend Process Engineering. Almost the same thing with more job opportunities.

tbh only take it if you enjoy physics chemistry and maths because almost every engineering field consists of physics tbh excluding stuff like marine engineering or so.

Actually?

Do they have a wider scope than ChemE?

Personally I'm really into pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. It depends from someone to another. Good luck😊😉

I bet you its between 7 and 15 precent. My first schools stats for engineering majors, depending on on the year, was 85 to 93% dropout rate.

@@randallmcgrath9345So many people are pushed into engineering by their parents or are in it just for the money and it shows 😅

@@NR-ou3hr especially Indian and East Asian parents lol. My parents didnt push me to a particular major, but they did pressure me to decide faster early on. But after I read my first physics book, whoch I think was Hawking "Brief history of Time" I was hooked. But it took me a long time to get the self belief and patience to begin learning the math to grasp actual physics or engineering textbooks for college students. I didnt do well in math in highschool but I'm doing pretty good with Khan Academy and studying ahead of time before I resume college, after dropping out in 2013.

@@randallmcgrath9345 Lmfao I’m Indian!!! Luckily my parents are very supportive of my endeavors in science but idk how happy they would’ve been if I went into something like art. I did have to convince them to let me become something other than a doctor for a while though. You are so inspiring and self motivated! Good luck with college, I’m sure you will be a kick ass engineer!

@user-fy2yq5hi8c It's okay and thank you for this information i'll definitely think about it

its probably the same difficulty as electrical engineering, more work than math and physics but conceptually easier to understand. Ex) you might have a coding course, fluid dynamics, and thermodynamics course plus a chemistry elective for chemE, but for nath you might have one analytical systems course which is harder than each chemE class individually, but you’d have 3 or 4 easier courses instead of 3 or 4 hard courses and one easier course in chemE. But this is just the case at my university. Also online (which is not aways accurate) places chemE and Electrical around top 3 most of the time.

@@brendanmeyer1613 no, Chem is a lot harder than mechanical and electrical

Are you sure? There’s a pretty high demand for every field of engineering but especially software.

@@NR-ou3hr well at least in my country. A lot of hard work for very little results.

@@jakoblindelof92 Awww I’m sorry. Any way you could move to a different country? There’s a lot of demand for STEM.

@@NR-ou3hr I do not mean to potray me as a victim I did my choice, I am just trying to discourage others from pursuing it. Also think it is pretty saturated all of western world. Except software engineering maybe,.

@@jakoblindelof92 I see. Yes, computer science seems to have the best scope in STEM for straight out of college jobs. Good luck and I hope you find something good.

Every offer I got was at that salary or above for new hire out of college

Reaally

Probably in ogs market. OGS is having a moment

​@@badensimpson2222 in which industry? probably oil and gas in some remote location in the middle of nowhere.

​@@badensimpson2222did u have work experience before that?

why is it not worth it?

Ill ask the cheeng i know who make like 300 k what he thinks

@@thispersonrighthere9024 you have to know people to get jobs around the south. I’m from Louisiana and they only like to hire people they know, regardless of skill. So no matter what you do in college, they won’t hire ya if they don’t know ya. I worked my ass off to get the job I have now and it’s not even chemical engineering. So no, don’t get one. Mechanical is better atm job market wise and pay is actually better. It’s extremely overrated to be a CHEE degree

@@ruger51995No one casually makes 300 as a chemical engineer, unless you’ve worked your entire life and at the top of a company. No one makes money like that in chemical engineering. FYI, say CHEE if you want to at least sound like you know what you are talking about. Normal starting salary in Louisiana is 75-87k for most chemical engineering related jobs. Honestly that’s kinda high balling it. If you make over 100k you are starting off well! Even in California where the wages are inflated due to the living conditions and whatnot, they still only list the starting salary ranges around 150-180k. 300k is just a dumb number you decided to just throw out.

Depends on what you like more. Civil is usually said to be easier and lighter workload.

Civil is easier
