The tragedy coming from a former chemical engr and now a teacher is that most high school eng. classes focus on mechanical, electrical and civil/architecture but zero chemical.
Honestly it's pretty annoying. My school no longer offers anything past chemistry honors.
If the job market supported it then maybe it would be taught more.
I'm just curious but if it was so great why did you leave to become a teacher? Or did the first part of my post already cover that?
@codejunki567 it's mostly because lack of access to wet labs. Chemical engineering projects I've done need one like lotion, soap, rocket fuel and pill coating.
I always wanted to 'help' and become a teacher. ChemE was the safe career choice.
Why does it seems like everyone that took chem engineer end up as high school teacher
What you really need to know and what you’ll use every day: Heat and Material Balances, Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Process Control, Separation Processes, and Equipment Sizing. What you won’t probably be taught but you’ll spend a lot of time doing: Instrument sizing and specification (PSVs, Control Valves, Meters); Development of P&IDs (I’m not talking about the Mickey mouse variety); HAZOP and Functional Safety Analysis. It’s a wonderful profession!
The thing that cracks me up about this...I received my B.S. in ChemE in 1997. I've not used a lick of MOST of the topics mentioned since. No chemistry, no heat/mass transfer, no fluid mechanics (which was actually my best course), no process design, none of it. Weird how that turned out for me. Basically my takeaways from my studies were how to approach and solve problems as an engineer, spot trends and analyze data for commonalities, and work with a team. That's mostly what I've done on a daily basis since I graduated. But even with that, I wouldn't trade my time in college for anything else. Sure I don't work in oil and gas and make the big bucks like some of my peers that I graduated at the time, but I'm having fun, regardless.
what does your job involves
When I chose chemical related studies, eventually ended up in chemical engineering, I thought that everything was made up of chemicals, I thought it would be so easy for me to find a job in the industry. But in reality they need more mechanical, electrical, aerospace engineers to maintain the existing equipment/ technology. But to become a process/chemical engineer, that design or optimize the process, you need to be really good at everything for the company to take you in as junior/trainee chemical engineering. Now I am just a jobless person with master degree searching for jobs for about a year now.
Is the real true go to any guy thats 10+ years on their job too, they dont realize they mostly end up like mech eng and dont know shitterydodo of chemE anymore is just knowing what machines do not what thevreaction are for, thats why you got lab researcher and "scaling up" is nonsense is mostly just adjusting more of something
Nice video! I'm really thinking about switching my course from Metalurgic Engineering to Chemical Engineering.
Yes. It must be intense if diff eq and linear algebra are in the same course, but then again it can be done for sure. And I have heard Heat and Mass transfer is one of the toughest cohlurses in undergrad chemE along with chem thermo.
Hello Jake, thanks for this video. I am a freshman in college and an unsure on what kind of engineering I want to do but I really like Chem and this video helped a lot!!
great! glad it was helpful
Very great summary of the chemical engineering course.
The way you explain is so understandable. Kindly do a video on Oceanography.
Great video Jake. I was taught all the courses you mentioned in the video during my bachelor of engineering degree in chemical engineering at our university in Nigeria.
During the statistics course, we were taught descriptive and inferential statistics. We were tempted to relegate statistics to the background because it seemed to be the odd one out but later turned out to be very important to the field of chemical engineering.
It was fun studying chemical engineering at the bachelor's and master's levels. I will be going for my PhD in chemical engineering soonest.
hey thanks! glad you liked it. and good for you Dr!
Absolute tour de force! Great work.
Hey thanks!
Thanks for the video man! Seems accurate so far
You bet
Chemical engineering in my work experience is focused on chemical reactions in detonation waves. Typical product I used to develop was a nuclear warhead, thermobaric detonation weapon and incendiary products. A lot of math to measure physics parameters like pressure, temperature, velocity, acceleration in fluid dynamics. Chemical engineering is very close to biology. In my case, I used to run volume detonation field test to observe typical traumas such explosive could develop on animals. Biology is a key when you as a chemist recommend to use explosion against troops. Poisons development is another aspect of chemical engineering. Biology is a key for that as well. You should be a master at nuclear engineering as well because conventional explosives create a critical mass in all modern bombs. Chemical engineer should be a master of sensor’s field measurements. For instance, in volume detonation you create distribution of fuel aerosols and oxidizer. You need for detailed picture of that distribution to predict of chemical reactions and fluid waves. CS is important for chemical engineers as well. Some experiments like nuclear explosion are very expensive and you should be able to make real life simulations of processes. Partial differential equations and integral equations would be your tools
Hi Jake, congrats for this video. It is a very good summary for students looking for more information about this field of expertise. Your video edition and script are great also.😄 It will be a source of inspiration to me. Building a career in chemical process engineering and plant design, I would like to add to your audience: once you decide on chemical engineering, you will become an engineer, not a chemist. Moreover, everything that Jake teaches in his book "Becoming an Engineer: The Average Person's Guide to Getting Good Grades and Succeeding in Engineering and STEM School" will be very useful to your professional career also. In addition, there are many career paths for a chemical process engineer, and probably Jack will talk about them on his CZcams. In any case, if you look for process/plant design, your core activities will be heat and material balance, engineering drawings and specification datasheets. Save my words and will meet each other soon 😇 All the best to you and your audience Jake.
Hey thanks!! I appreciate the kind words and very nice comment.
Hi, actually i want to know, What career opportunities open to me as a chemical engineer ?
Great work , thank you .
Thanks!
Thank you sir for the advice ❤
I chose chemical engineering because I love maths, computer science, electronics, design, etc. I want to go to both pharmaceutical and semiconductor industries. Become a process or biochemical engineer as well. I also love other engineering discipline like electrical engineering and computer science, aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering and civil engineering.
By seeing all the things you love, i think you should have gone for computer engineering or electrical engineering. Well thats i think lol
Great explaination!!
Thanks!
Videos like this can change a persons life
This kinda content is great. Waiting for the nuclear and environmental engineer videos!
Hey thanks! They’re on the list! So many too make haha
Navier stokes equation is derived from physics 1.
Hi i'm from Brazil, thank you for the video!
youre welcome!
nice video thank you!!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you !
You’re welcome!
This video really helped me, I was thinking to be an chemical engineer, probably my fashion, and also, maybe it fits me
glad it helped!
Heyy can you do a video on Bioengineering as well... Watching from the Caribbean Region
It’s on the list! Thanks for the suggestion. 👍
Incredible channel
Hey thanks!
Hey i am an international student going to pursue chemical engineering in united states .. does university ranking and stuff affect our jobs or our chemical engg skills will give jobs😅despite the university?
Buckingham pi theorem is nondimensionalization.
I have been following your videos for less than 2 weeks but the info is very good but I have been selected to do manufacturing engineering, would you consider making a video on what is exactly of us in manufacturing engineering, please
i will add it to the list!
Great video. Can you please do nuclear engineering next?
It’s in the list! Thanks for the suggestion.
How does the content relating to fluids and thermodynamics in chem eng compare to mech eng? Is there a lot of overlap?
For fluid mechanics there should be a very high level of overlap, and the same goes for heat transfer. One of my profs used to say that mass transfer is really what separates ChemEs from MechEs. For thermo there may be more of a difference in which parts of the course are emphasized
Chemical processes in detonation and in combustion are really overlap with fluid mechanics. Shock wave can initiate a chemical reactions as well
There is a very large amount of overlap, but ChE's will, of course, be more interested in flows undergoing chemical reactions. At the grad school level, the amount of overlap is even larger. You can find MechE's, chemists, and ChemE's doing almost the exact same things regarding, for example, combustion chemistry.
Hey can you make a video like this but about electrical engineering
It’s on the list! Thanks for the suggestion
Can you do MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING physics💪
For quite sometime I’ve wanted to be a chemist since I love chemistry and wanted to do research and contribute to society that way. I wanted to go into geo or environmental chemistry and with my research help solve problems. Looking at the pay is really discouraging though. Even PhDs don’t seem to get paid as much as they should. Should I just say screw it and go into Chemical Engineering? I know that it’s not really chemistry focused but it seems to be the closest thing for a much better pay. I don’t really like a lot of math but ig I’ll just learn as I go. Machinery never interested me though so I really don’t know at this point. Maybe I’ll just give up my life dreams and just become a doctor or lawyer lmfao 🤣
If you're still interested in any chemistry focused degrees, Materials Engineering might be worth looking into.
I am very confused between chemical engineering and mechanical engineering. I love both. I have been comparing, reading, and researching between these two specializations for several months, and I want to know which specialization is more comprehensive. What will develop in the future? I hope you can help me thank you.
I think both are very safe choices. Chemical pay is maybe a bit more. and id say mechanical has a bit more job opportuniites
More job opportunities in mech eng so go for it
@@abdulrehmankhan4860 that was before 1 month now im between the mechanical engineering and software engineering 🙂
If your interest level in both studies are more or less the same, go for mechanical engineering. Fresh graduate here, couldn’t find a chemical engineering related job for almost a year. About half of the people I know did consulting or switched to data engineering…..
@@willyliang8101 i chose mechanical and i finsh my first year now 🙏🏻🤍🙃
Can u do a video about industrial engineering??
It’s on the list! Thanks for the suggestion
My dream is to become a chemical engineer but sadly I feel like somehow my high school hasn’t prepared me to enroll in this degree… I’m amazing at math and love everything that this degree has to offer but my school has been teaching nothing but the basics of trigonometry, geometry and algebra. I believe in myself but I feel like I also have to be pretty realistic, because I’m not dumb, I just don’t know most of the basics because of my classes. I don’t know what to do, now that I’m a senior I feel like I’ve waisted my high school years.
If you are in the US, consider looking into an associate degree in engineering. This is offered at community colleges in larger cities. Afterwards, you can apply to a 4 year college and have the background and first two years done.
You can actually start leaning via CZcams and other channels. You can't give up on your dreams.
Chemical engineers also take physical chemistry.
That is all that I learned as a chemical engineer🤓
Please do to biomedical engineering
its on the list
I appreciate this info..but what are the job prospects for a middle aged person doing this degree?
what degree?
Can you make a vid on civil engineering
It’s on the list! Thanks for the recommendation 👍
Thank you for sharing this video. I just got offered a scholarship and admission to study chemical engineering at PhD level. I have a Microbiology background with a masters in Environmental Microbiology. I love taking up new challenges. But I want to know if I should go ahead and take this. I am not very strong in maths, physics, and statistics. I'm really scared.
Best of luck to you my friend
How, how on earth did you get a chem E PhD offer with a microbiology background?...
@@shadycactus7896 Thank you so much. Please, I'm open to any suggestions from you on how I can manage the situation and turn it to my advantage. Thank you.
Linear algebra is murdering me more than chem
I'm in south africa how can I order the book
amazon, audible, apple books, barnes and noble. let me know if those arent available
real
How much will it cost to study chemical engineering
Depends on the school.
Do you need to know the basics when you start or they explain everything to you? At least one to show the topic so you can study it from yourself
they start from the beginning
It is surprisingly amazing but the only problem which might face me is anything involving biology bcuz i hate it
It sucks I love the concept of biology pertaining to life and animals and stuff but the courses are just boring memorization
Sounds like you'd spend half your life in school.
And I fucking love it
4-5 years
What if i already learned all of that in high school? Lol
lemme guess, you dont live in ameraica
You're telling me that your high school taught you fluid dynamics? Damn how behind is america?
you skipped 1 year of physical chemistry
2nd
My brain hurts 😢
i in pain
i gonna do this
I believe in you
The motivation i need thank you😂
