- There's a lot of people wondering if Chemical Engineering is dead or a dying field... I don't think so! It might not be the best job market in years, but to say that ChemE is dead.... NOT FOR NOW!
In Summary, it is NOT a Dying Field!

A very good take on a questioning that gets asked a lot Emmanuel! Have to agree with the points you have made 👍
Thanks my friend, indeed this has to be addressed
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
Thanks a lot Lydia, im glad you liked them... Nice background you have there! Im assuming you like the area/work you are currently ?
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.
hehe, thanks for noticing the little details! And yes... the less engineers, more job opportunities...
Awesome! Thanks for making this video.
Thanks for your support!
Excelente video, muchas gracias!
Por cierto, asumo que hablas español... hay algún video donde hables de tu vida? Te pregunto porque he pensado estudiar una maestría en el extranjero.
Saludos desde Costa Rica!
gracias armando, un abrazo... no tengo muchos videos al respecto, pero considerare hacer algunos para hacerlos mas personales... A donde gustas irte?
Actually, machine learning is being applied into some chemical engineering processes.
But it's runs underneath the chemical process using control systems for automation.
Correct, AI and ML as well as big data are topics that had been already introduced to ChemE... It's just not so popular that we talk about its applications
I feel Chemical Engineering is going to stick as far as human existence.
Indeed, me too
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.
Hi sir. I also doing chemical engineering in Pakistan. I also had a lot of confusion but tnk u sir that you explain... I think sir if the trends and technology explore in new processes,design and control the offcoaurse chemical engg is not the death field.
Indeed, there's a lot of technologies out there, pending to be researched and developed by ChemE
great video
Thanks =)
I'm still studying chemical engineering in Egypt and I'm sure this field not die at all .
True. BTW, good luck in your journey!
Hello ! What do you think about studying Biochemical Engineering (which is a branch of Chemical Engineering) ?
It's cool, I have some friend on that field, they really like it, although sometimes it might be reduced in Jon opportunities
It's been hard to get jobs in chemical engineering. Biochemical engineering is even harder. And you'll compete with chemical engineers as well. Don't go for it if you want to have a job outside university.
@@rhinobridge Do you have any experience (or know friends who have to do with Biochemical Engineering ) ,can you share them please ?
chemical engineering is interesting field but jobs availability and salaries are less as compared to others,and money matters for everyone.
true, hopefully it gets fixed soon :)
Acrually chemE is one of the high paying field
@@SatchelChannel yes in gulf countries..but not in india.
@@pratikvichare7928 I'm from Europe, and in Italy/Germany is one of the highest paid degrees around. Here in Italy the average salary for chemEng is 40k (28k is the average salary) and in Germany is 70k (45k being the average).
Oil, biotech and food sector are pretty lucrative
@@SatchelChannel I'm process engineer having more than 8+ year experience in O & G still salaries are very less as compared to other field..( avg salary here in india is 15-20k(rupees) for freshers for next 2 years.I know EU chemical engineers getting good package..i hope situation in india gets fixed soon.
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.
Indeed! Thanks for the comment, there's a lot of ppl that need to read this!
What field u in now
maybe, but some students prefer to study computer science and programming in these period
True, that makes it better for present and future ChemE xD
India have special University for Chemical engineering and its sub branches named Institute of chemical technology Mumbai and I am a student of the same and I have found that chemical engineering is the most important branch of engineering
To be honest, I wouldn't say "most important" since it is clearly based in mechanical engineering, without machines to work the processes, there would be no chemical engineering at all
Hello a subscriber here, what do you think about learning sustainable chemical engineering M.Sc?
Topics include energy management cheng dissertion, recycling, research, fuel cells, sustainability of materials, environmental management, renewable energy and so on. I plan to settle in UK ans from what I know the scope Is high here what's your advise? I'm confused between sustainable chem E and advanced chemE M.Sc.
UK is quite high in competition, but the field is great, there's lots to come in the near future, it's a Greta bet if your rally are into the field imo
@@ChemicalEngineeringGuy thanks, I choose UK because I can finish masters in a year and I got good offers from Newcastle (sustainable chemE) and Nottingham (advanced chemE), its just I'm confused weather to take advanced chemE or sustainable chemE. I'm not planning to teach instead plan to specialise in the field that I take masters in
Manufacturing will basis of our society, so chemeng will never die
Amen to that my friend
And if manufacturing ever did die, then society as we know it wouldn’t exist. However, if be happy to have my chemical engineering degree in such a world because I at least know how to develop process to create materials.
Is Cambrian college in Canada is good for ChemE course?
No quite sure, but I would check it in common rankings such as the QS Ranking or so :)
Bro,does process safety demand in job market
There is a Need, yes... Wouldn't know how great on your region...
@@ChemicalEngineeringGuy bro I would like to pursue MSc process safety in uk so I asked you
As per my experience I'm not CEr, chemist worked in formulation qc department,
Now switch to software because salary,
Conclusion is dead:
True, lots of ChemE are transitioning to CS or software engineering.
pls help me how did you achieve the transition ?
@@polizario7942 learn IT skills like Java or other things
@@harishs2181 I'm actually learning python as a self taughter, it's actually sufficient to get a job even with a chemical engineering degree?
@@polizario7942
Yes, thare two ways of you Learn seliunium for testing
Or
Django for front end developer,so addition skiis sufficient for get job updates
I feel it's evolving.
for sure
diploma chemical engineering is a good choice? Since i was taking diploma in chemical engineering
Yes it is still relevant if you have your doubts... although many are shifting towards computer science, coding, programming, since the chemE profile fits well there
What about Chemical Engineering technology
Will prepare a vid soon, I have a vid on new technologies and chem companies
@@ChemicalEngineeringGuy thanks, that will be very helpful 🙌
R.I.P. Universe B( and muh ChemE
I am chemical engineer however i am jobless 😂😂
How the search going on? I'll be making a video on tips to land offers and jobs soon!
The specific interesting question to ask would be how much increase/decrease in chemical engineering job opportunity from our TRANSITION to RENEWABLE ENERGY.
What do you guys think ?? my bet is decrease
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.
I am working at the national renewable energy lab- there are a lot of chemical engineers here.
Also lots of chemical engineering in sustainable polymers and recycling too.
Yes, renewable a hot right now!
Existing energy fields will decelerate in growth but still grow, renewable will explode eventually so I really think this is an overall increase in opportunities for the ChemE
@@jacob9673 how much is salary
I'll just hire a Mechanical Engineer and teach him/her reactor technology...lol...
As simple as that xD
