If I don't happen to like this major, then I'm screwed.
+Syvmana What do you mean
+Anthony Mendoza He probably means that he chose that major in university, and if he doesn't like it, he is screwed because then he'll probably drop it.
+SimmonSays I'm pretty sure he's thinking that, its exactly what i'm thinking
Same
common_ sense
Proud to be a Chemical Process Engineer
Elaborate.
Dear sir, I'm chemical enginee. I aspire to become a chemical process enginee.. How to get into it.. Any course u prefer?
@@sandipmadde8935 u can take B.Tech chemical engineering
Is chemical engineering a satisfying career in India? And can you tell me if chemical engineers get good salaries or not?
@@mira22075 chemical engineering is pretty good carrier for any engineering aspirants.
It's an engineering branch which has several sister branches like petroleum, Mining, ceramics, biotechnology etc.
In india chemical engineering jobs and companies increasing day by day.
It prefers good salaries but during your freshers stage you need to struggle on low salaries but when you get atleast 2 years of experience no one can stop you to gain a good position on good salaries.
Also after B.tech it's important to do M.tech in chemical engineering after getting 2-3 years of industrial experience.
I know it's kind of an old video, but right now it kind of inspired me, instead of organic chemistry, maybe I should try studying chemical engineering :D :) Thank you very much :D
Don’t you need to study Ochem as a chemical engineer?
@@clearestapricotpencil4125 Only a little bit, you won't specialize in it
Seems interesting...chemical engineering in pharmaceutical seems so interesting too ^^
What are the material properties?
*Kinda thicc*
Chemeng degrees have more physics than people think, so that often surprises them about the major. Also will likely require 1 semester of a circuits class.
Yeah, chemical engineer has a lot of physics, chemistry is lesser than that.
I loove chemistry. But my job bores me, I work in manufacturing all day, and I feel like I'd rather be interacting with people at this point. I am looking to go back to school for nursing. But everyone is different , you never know until you try it ! Do it and see for yourself ! You may love it
Yeah. Chemical engineers don't really get to play with chemistry. Its strange.
Are you a Chemical Engineer?
I think Chemical Engineering is fun!
But one boring thing there’s no work of Chemistry :(
@@cricketcrumbs58 yes
What do you mean bores you ? does it get slow or repetitive ?
breaking bad motivates me. :]
Then study chemistry, not chemical engineering
@@rogeriojunior9459honestly... it depends on the university and country
@@rogeriojunior9459but the guy who invented methamphetamine in breaking bad
his major was biochemistry and chemical engineering
You can start early by learning some OpenFOAM for CFD. I am a retired Chemical Engineer.
Glad to meet an experienced Chemical Engineer. I think you are a source of inspiration for the aspirants.
Very inspiring, i love if I had that opportuniy I would use it well
I love this course but i am getting discouraged since I haven't gotten an Industrial training placements of my interest
I love the creativity of modifying and creating new equipment. Its not just math and chemistry! I want to learn how to cook. Everything in life is about chemistry, thats a good starting point for kelsey sather!
I'm a chemical engineering student. I'm so excited!
Is it difficult??
Hello if your there I would like to know if it’s easy hard or ok
I graduated from chemical engineering as a bachelors degree, in my opinion this course was really hard.. But still have chance for surviving if you have a passion with it. Not only chemical but math, physics and little bit of biology. And i think if you want to be here, you have to be really strong in multitasking
"Chemical Engineer"
Currently working as production engineer in pharmaceutical company.😎
Yeah. If you really like chemistry, please, just make chemistry graduation.
iam pursuing my B.E in chemical
plz give me any suggestions
I am still a student in chemical engineer, but I don't know where exactly I can work? and what to do?
@@gilblax8764 it's not about the subject you like, it depends on your interest.
Basically chemical engineering is not a chemistry.
Both are different terms, in chemistry we apply the things which already exists but in chemical engineering we apply the things or chemical to change their chemical or physical properties and parameters to gain a new and advanced product on a large scale.
@@samanthaomar1741 soo you are an engineering student with a chemical branch if I am correct.
In which engineering year you still studying.
im a third year chem eng std and yet i still can't see my future being an engineer in my country.
There are a lot of opportunities in other countries. I know you'll do your best and grab those opportunities

Update?
I’m a chem eng student. I like to drinks out on Friday nights after a rigorous week.
how r u now
I'm very interested with video because I am a IIT student in kanpur campus electrical engineer
Great info. Thangs a lot.
I found this video to be very helpful for my Presentation on Chemical Engineers.
Soon...
Can I ask can someone pursue a career as a doctor and study on the side to go back to be a STEM student just wondering cause bills have to be paid out here and I'm quite fascinated as an adult with the possibilities I was not sure were out there.
This video would add more educational value if it spent more time on the experiments and less time on the definition of chemical engineering. I used to teach freshman chemistry lab and saw most students lose points because they don't complete the experiment as described in the laboratory procedure.
she did not use any PPEs wile working in the plant hazardous?
Their not actually working any processes. For tours it's usually fine just to wear eye protection and that's it.
thank you for help :)
Please help me, I’m 17 and scored an 1170 on my SAT, I wanted to go to TAMU for ChemE but now I’m worrying I won’t have the smarts to get through my degree, I’m still applying to colleges as I’m only a senior in high school, but any wisdom is welcome please
I recommend you can go to a community college first to get a well rounded aspect about engineering. From there if you choose to, transfer to a 4 year college of your choice and study at a steady pace. Look for tutors for help if you feel you are falling behind. The important thing is to do your best because that is what professors always ask from students.
You have the “smarts” . It will come down to your habits more than anything. I recommend you read atomic habits and then follow its advice for college and it will be surprisingly easy. Most important just remember your grades depends mostly on your ability to do tests well which sadly doesn’t really translate into what you need to be an actual engineer but that’s a different story
Yes and usually you will get reading materials ahead of time. On Facebook or through the campus you will have access to past students and can ask them for tips specific to the courses but I'm getting at you should read ahead as much as you can so you have time to make sure you understand concepts well before the exams! Good luck!
Amazing! Go ahead
I going be a chimal or coumpter engeering cause I like working with my hands how much do she get paid a month?
Working in the lab and office for the whole day is exhausting
Anita, are you using a metal stirring spoon on a teflon coating cooking pan at 4:04??
I'm not so sure you need a simulation to know it will mix when stirred. Seems a fairly well known technology.
On a small scale yes, but when you have couple hundred liter reactor or something with high viscosity it doesnt mix that easy. Also you need to have good mixing relatively fast because high concentration on one part of the reactor can cause the reaction to move towards undesirable products.
I am studying Chemical Engineering now and i really hate it. When i was in school i loved physics,chemistry,calculus and i really was very good at it. But University is really crushed everything i really hate when someone says word UNIVERSITY. Worst time in my life.
How is it going now?
It’s been 2 years, did you win yet son?
@@miguelencarnacion805😂
Maybe they are using simulation for the mixing time and the conditions of the mix.
visimix software?
i think all the contributions of chemist in most cases took by chemical engineers. chemists are just left for research.
Very usefull
Any vacancy for diploma chemical engineer .
Im in the 11th grade, trying to pick a major. Yea, chemical engineering isnt for me. I think ill either go compsci or electrical and computer engineering

Best ever carrier in engineering
I want to become a chemical engineer but in high lam only learning maths,Biology and chemistry. So whatelse do I need.please advise me. This is my second last year at high school.Iam from Kenya.
Hi there, I’m a 3rd year chemical engineering major. Your schedule sounds pretty good, but I would recommend some physics classes too. Some of the most important topics are thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, and those both fall on the line between physics and chemistry
@@jasonc369 in my first semester in electrical engineering I hope to get a job in like a manufacturing plant is that posible? or should I switch to other branch?
Ya i would say that physics would be a good class to take if you want to become a chem engineer
@@jasonc369 hii, you must have graduated by now :D
she did not use any PPEs wile working in the plan hazardous?

I want to become a chemicalEng however I have a long way to go, I know chemistry & maths is a prime to join the chemicalEng field, however I'm 15 years old, & I understand what's needed to become a chemicalEng , can someone explain the obstacles you'd have to face during this journey, what are the cons&probs, this is my dream job, but I don't know the inner depths about it. Someone please explain...
saham mowlid besides learning and a lot of of work
You must have logical thinking, an open mind, be capable to improvise
Thank you that was helpful Kadic Amir
underscore you As a process engineer u have to do some math n chemistry at uni. But thsi is not so much needed anymore at work. They already have spreadsheets for everything. For work, you will have to be flexible, meaning you are working where teh facility is, which might be out in the country (outside the city) or you may have to travel to various facilities as part of your work (nationally or internationally). You will need to interact with a variety of people, form businessmen, to technicians, to builders, safety regulators, and agencies to get their approval etc. You may have to make phonecalls to find your suppliers etc etc. Lots of meetings so preferably one should be a ppls person, who enjoys engaging and exchanging ideas with people. An engineering job is more about solving problems in a practical and cost effective way. In summary: Its a very versatile job, never boring, but requires you to be flexible. Of course, for your travels, they compensate you financially.
Did you go through with becoming a chemical engineer?
2-1, 8-2, 4x5, 3+5, 3x1, S5x^5
this course is fucking hard
Agree
how’d it go
Can we work in beverage production engg..for chemical engg
BiochemE rather, but chemE is possible too
❤
Should I learn chem e?
I'm in grade 12 and I would like to study Chemical engineering, what must I take into consideration
Dakalo Matodzi Well keep in mind that the job is 10% chemistry and 90% math. So if your passion is chemistry and your not big on physics or calculus, then this may not be the best path. But if it still is, keep in mind that any chemistry path is considered to be a nightmare for students in college, extremely difficult and tedious. But if your up for the challenge it is a rewarding career which pays extremely well.
@@themoonman9721 if they work in other fields like pharmaceuticals or biotech wont that involve some type of science or chemistry?. I want to be a biochemical engineer
Its good for you ask about it.
You must be strong in multitasking, passion with it, good in technical and theoritical, also must be diligent. not only chemical but math, physics, and also biology. Cuz i remember that i should had held down for 2 day without sleeping. You must know the specific of all course that you will learn and consider with you passion. Dont be surprised if you find something complex. And you have to know what you wanna be after graduating, what position you want to be. So you can prepare before and while studyinh to focus with all knowledge you need for your dream position. That was all my fault come and join in this course but don't prepare and know about everything about this major. Don't make a mistake like me!
I'd ask around to some colleges, CZcams comments aren't generally a good place to ask, everyone here is a know it all that's happy to spew whatever garbage they think is correct with no evidence.
Did you peruse chemical engineering and if you did how’s it going?
Dream career
how much is her salary?
Is it possible to get a job in New Zealand after doing PhD in Chemical and material Engineering?
I don’t know how you couldn’t? I mean chemical engineers are needed everywhere and if you have a phD they would really want you

i need help!!! i am high school student i want to be a chemical engineer but i am so scared if this the right chose form me. to be chemical engineer what are the strength you need to have???
Also to add you need to have good analytical and thinking skills.
thank u :)
I'm 3nd year ChemEng student.
What I can tell from experience, if you are that person who loves 'thinking outside the box' chemical engineering is your field.
You need to have potential in Math as well as Chemistry.
When I say Chemistry, I mean the physical chemistry.
In ChemEng you'll be involved in more team-works than any major did.
It's great fun, even though, I have reached to some points that I found myself dump and useless Lol. Trust me you would be in my position if you took up ChemEng course.
Proud to be a ChemEng :)
+DonDsJR IM studying towards being a chemical engineer but then there'
s this module called PROCESS that thing will destroy your dream trust me.
Hi. I'm a chemical engineer based in the Philippines. For me, to be a chemical engineer doesn't mean that you need to be really smart or genius. You just need to strengthen your analytical skills and creativity in order to survive it. All you need is hardwork and practice. Compared to my colleagues, I'm not that good in subjects like math, physics, chemistry, etc but I managed to finish the degree. I hope this helps. Good luck!
Keeping it a stack I don't want to be a chemical engineer to change or help the world. I just wanna mix the orange beaker with the blue beaker and see what happens 🙃🙃🙃
We are unique 🎉
hi chimical engineer
Man it seems like the main thing for every major is profit.
Because of the cost of education in the united states, it has to be a top priority. I’ve seen people get in debt 80,000+ for their degree. You need to think about your return on investment. Yes, Passion is important. But if you’re 60,000 dollars in debt with a history degree, there’s not that well paying jobs. Should probably be a side thing.
Competition brings profit and costs to the consumers to a fair trade. Capitalism is an awesome thing. 👍
I m Chemical Engineer with 9 year exp if any vacancy let me know
What's your main jobs as chemical engineer?
Damn I want her job
Love
what about , process Engineer...
Same thing
Im gonna become a chemical engineer but its sad because i likely wouldn't get payed much
Why so?
Chemical engineers are payed extremely well
He engineers chemicals.

What does her amateur cooking and painting have to do with this?
Those are her hobbies. It goes to show that being a chemical engineer doesn't mean that you cant do other things that you enjoy
I would hope that's extremely obvious. Even the president has hobbies.

...soon...
Bad pay however
Not in the US. Chemical Engineers are near the top for highest paid engineers, obviously there’s exceptions though
You know what sucks? literally everyone wants to be a chemical engineer these days. class sizes are increasing, lots of people graduating with degrees in ChemE and jobs are so hard to find becuase there is too much competition. honestly, its not worth it anymore. Go into computers. chemical is over rated and not the career people think it would be.
nice way to discourage prospective chemical engineers and to thin out the classes :)
Job location usually far from the city area
..........soon....
screwed? XD
I was finna dislike but it has 69 dislike ;)
Sctizing
Lol you too
soon.......muahahahahahahahahahaaaaaa!!!!!
Seahorse
I just want them dollar bills
Since women were prominently featured as chemical engineers in this video, as a man, I don’t feel encouraged to go into this field. This whole video is totally gynocentric.
Matt Garcia I empathize with you, since this is how I, and I'm sure many other women, feel when we're exposed to literally any roles potrayed in the general media/ entertainment.
Really?! You’re so sexist that you can’t even imagine going into the same field as a woman? I hope I’m just misreading sarcasm...
Welcome to the life of women
