I’m trying not to “outshine” my master. I’m trying to not rock the boat so to speak. But holy fuck, this guy can’t do basic math. He couldn’t do a simple math problem to solve something, I did it in front of him in like 20 seconds because he has already scribbled through 3 pages of paper. Then, he later sends me a picture from ChatGPT giving the wrong solution. I ask ChatGPT myself, and it gives the same wrong solution it gave to my boss. I grilled ChatGPT a bit, and provided it my solution, and got ChatGPT to backtrack and say that it is I in fact who is right and its original solution is wr ..read more

Just graduated and started a job as a facilities engineer for intel. My group does pure water + waste processing for the chip plant. Working conditions are super good I cannot complain, but it doesnt seem like the work is that interesting. Largely dealing with contractors for project work, dealing with your systems going down, and then the rest of the time more admin stuff. Are all process engineering jobs going to be like this? submitted by /u/UrMotherWasGood [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I’ve been wanting to switch my major to either ChemE or environmental engineering. The problem is I’m about to be a junior and I’m not sure if I will have enough time to take a the pre reqs/major specific classes and still graduate in two years(I’m expecting to spend 5 years total in college) Would anyone have any recommendations on what to do? I figure Environmental E will be much easier to switch to as I am currently and Env Science major and have taken the various chem/bio classes needed and would be placed in calc 2 next year, however ChemE is more the path I want to take. Any help would ..read more

Hello. I'm a ChemEng student from Argentina in my last year and I have seen some courses to know more about the field I want to work (O&G) and to have a better CV. Some courses are done by private and public universities and others are from human resources consultant focused on engineering. They are about piping, instrumentation and quality control. The problem is that most of them worth U$S 150-200. Luckly, I have the money to pay in installments for one course, but still It's a lot of money for me. I want to know if you, someone with experience, recommend to do these courses or not. Tha ..read more

I'm a Chemical Engineer with a background in Process Design, Process Safety and Technical Risk primarily in CCS, H2 and Ammonia. I graduated in 2018 so have a good few years of experience. I'm starting to think I would like to pursue an opportunity abroad ideally somewhere in Europe. Has anyone done this, what methods did you take (did you move to another office within your UK based company or apply for a new role), how hard did you find it, is it even possible for us now post Brexit? So far I've just started to apply to jobs on LinkedIn but a lot of them require you be an EU resident. I shou ..read more

May I ask if for anyone who have experiences in a chemical industry if it is cheaper to liquify hot ammonia at 180 degrees celsius than neutralize it using water or sulfuric acid by a gas absorption column not only in terms of the process but as a sellable by product after treatment? submitted by /u/Uwatnowmadapaka [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hey everyone! I have two job offers as a Process EIT in Canada, AB. One offer is from a top EPC organization while the other is at a big operating company. I would like to know what option should I choose to start my career with? I know that operating company is giving me 8-10K more than the EPC, but the EPC provides a much better WLB and I believe I would be able to gain more technical knowledge here. It is possible to switch from EPC to operating company with a pay rise later after I have build a strong technical phase? What should I choose at the start of my career? How are the compensatio ..read more

Background :- I am an International student studying in Canada. Currently pursuing masters. For the summer I was able to get a reasearch internship. However it is not a core chemical engineering internship. Given that employers in Canada do not consider your experience in your home country ( I have no exp in home country too , i completed my bacheors and came to canada), will this summer internship help me in my future employment ? I graduate in April 2025 . submitted by /u/Warden1338 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
