- Dr. John Chen, a retired faculty member of Lehigh University, interviewed Dr. Rui Cruz of Dow Chemical, Dr. Ashok Krishna of Chevron, and Dr. Steve Poehlein, formerly of Merck.
The panel discussed the traits and skills they look for in new hires, as well as opportunities in their fields for young chemical engineers. These questions focus on some of the main areas covered in the 2013 Annual Meeting's Plenary in San Francisco. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Thank you for the beautiful insights Prof. We need more videos like this.
nicely made video, short and concise, very insightful for fresh graduates looking to enter the industry
Wow this is very good. Really feels that you are having a meeting them.
soft skills r good but supervisory skills r must
We have to keep a good balance amongst our service mindedness, business mindedness, safety mindedness and innovation mindedness while performing our duties as chemical engineers in various positions.
I think the response is quite general. Definitely every chemical engineer will try to learn fundamentals of chemical engineering. In addition, every institute also strive to train their graduates in the soft skills. Important question is about the particular skills?
That's all I needed
Am a post graduate looking forward to advance my technical ability.
Sir you have to write your own postgraduation and doctorate and look for technical word in it and understand about it
How to find work for chemical engineering job
There are extremely few jobs in Petroleum, Petrochemical, Chemical and Polymer sectors. Low internships in core fields is a major factor. People prefer for marketing and sales and service skills more often.
Job is hard work & not white collar
I like a challenge
Tell me about it. I'm in New Jersey, Graduated from NJIT and I agree with you.
@@DemetriT1 i am starting University this October and honeslty I'm scared 😭
@@fahmidameow8529 don't worry about it. For right now worry about not catching coronavirus. Plus the market changes and even though we're in a recession it may bounce back by the time you graduate. But if we're you I'd switch to something in computer science or finance. That's where the new big money is. In data analytics. Then real estate/stock market, etc...
Very nice conversation 😄
Hello everyone I'm just getting into the general chemistry aspect of things and I am 26. At what age do you think I'll actually start Engineering. I have 1 year to get my Associates then BA soon. I just need some feedback
Hi Joshua, you usually start your department engineering courses during the second year of undergrad. I would recommend doing an engineering co-op or internship combined with your education. It will definitely help with entry-level engineering positions after you graduate. For the age thing, it really depends on how fast you want to finish your courses. If you do part time, it will take a while to get your degree.
+Sam K thank you you've been very helpful, Do you know what type of Math is most used when Engineering on the Nuclear side. Or do I just not know what I am asking? I like to not wait on things to hit me I want to attack the sooner I can
The fundamental mathematics is pretty much the same across all engineering majors. For chemical engineering the main math courses are linear algebra, Calculus 1, 2 & 3, differential equations and probability & statistics. I think nuclear engineering is the same. Geometry is assumed to be taken in high school. You will also need to learn how to program from an introductory programming course because some upper level engineering courses use computer programming for problem solving. A great resource would be the academic curriculum for engineering at the school you are going to apply to.

how to get in MIT for chemical engineering
@@ojasviyadav3385 you should good resume good soft skills vast experience in various industries . Good marks in gre (above 330 ) you can search of those who pursuing chemical engineering studying in MIT on LinkedIn
How to gain those skills ?
Hi all out There ,I am a Fresh Graduate , Chemical engineering from Purdue west Lafayette-USA , I am now going for Masters , Can anyone guide/Help how I can get some experience ,Job in Chemical Engineering field. I applied many places but No luck yet. Thanks
most people who complain about chemical engineering come from india why lol
Because in India top chemical companies are run by government and they are not efficient.
Second we have lot of minority and caste based reservation in those companies so best guys don't get the job they just simply leave india
Please tell me best skills that will help me getting a best job in chemical industry reply as soon as possible🙏
Well most importantly you need to know all the basics very fluently, like thermodynamics fluid mechanics etc., as the gentleman in the middle said they expect you to apply all your theoretical knowledge into the practical so that's the first and main point to know the basics very good, the second thing is actually something which everybody needs in every field, you have to work with other people so you need to know how to work in a team and be a teamworker and a leader as well, you will have clients so you need to know how to communicate with them and convince them, need to 'sell' or present your product, there are also other points like to be proficient in programming or know how to deal with simulating programs, if you don't then concentrate on developing your skills in all of these programs. If you apply all of this your chance will raise to get a good job in this field
@@saythetruth1396 How to start doing simulation?
🤗
ChemE jobs are very hard to find and very few. Why don't they mention that?
Because "Breaking Bad"
+Corvux IX Because we were sold a false bill of goods by these same kind of charlatans in this video. I graduated in 2000, and have been laid off from every job I have had since; never worked longer than 2 years for any one company before the axe came down. I've never been able to put "roots" down because when you get laid off you have to go where the job offer is; when you are unemployed and are lucky enough to get a job offer it is unwise to turn that offer down. Nowadays, you have to be a freaking expert in one area. Otherwise you are fucked. I am fucked!
Theron Cabardo That's so sad to hear. I hope you figure something out.
Theron Cabardo IN Australia at least when the mining boom was strong there were jobs.. but now with the iron ore price plummeting there are few jobs.. and the few jobs that exist are already filled by experienced chemical engineers
+Theron Cabardo Wait seriously? That's too bad cause I wanted to start studying chemical engineering next year :( Hope you have more luck in the future
👌
Hi. I'm a Chemical Engineering student as well. As for both chemical and biochemical process simulation, what are THE BEST softwares would you recommend ?
P/S: The software should be able to perform simulation for the both the aforementioned processes.
Please. I need help. I want to be good at ONE but The Most Suitable platform for the simulation of chemical and biochemical processes.
I use Aspen Plus
Aspen plus is what I is most. However, I've only used it for processes that are well understood and developed. Newer and specialized processes will require you to have an in depth knowledge of the kinetics and thermodynamics that you'd have to either program yourself or know key parameters to be able to simulate. It's great for heat exchanger modeling though without a huge need for the theoretical background.
As a senior chemical engineer we use mainly Matlab, proll, and hysus. Matlab is probably a good program to start with.
Senior in college to clarify
ASPEN HYSYS

This is known in the industry as mushroom interviews. Seeking mushroom candidates who will eat shit and remain in the dark

Which college you attended to for engineering degree?
masti peloge aur laundiya baazi karoge to yahi hoga
You can do anything you want with a chemical engineering background including going to med school. I am an IT Solutions Architect and I'd rather go to hell than wear a fucking suit !
Do your research, you literally can't
So you want a book smart male who works well with females? Solves females problems?
No jobs at all. Stop making people fool.
A lot of jobs actually, but they are so hard to get. because most of the facilities require experienced people and dont care about teaching fresh graduates.
Eh. Quite a few jobs, just not in these three industries. A lot of chemical engineering degrees move into various areas and so many different jobs.
The people with a chemE degree who are jobless often had very low GPAs or no experience.
@Jacob: High GPA doesn't guarantee that someone has good technical, organizational or soft skills. In my career, I have seen guys having average academic qualifications been good managers then those who are just bookish. So, its quite unfair just to shortlist selected top few. Everyone should be given a fair chance. After all, anyone who has reached a professional school, has been sieved enough.
Muhammad Shehreyar Khan I don’t care what you’ve seen, I’m stating a fact. Most HR people rule them out because of that, irrelevant of their skill sets. I don’t agree with it, also generally the experience DOES lend to a good employee
@ Jacob: And I don't care what you state because I am living example of low grades. I have worked in EPCC, petrochemicals & petroleum upstream. But your'e right that HR practices & mindset shouldn't be shallow & reformed. But again not all companies have such pathetic rules. Anyways globally, the trend is changing & there is now more focus on software & programming skills.
