What are my chances of getting admission into the USA for a PhD in chemical engineering? My CGPA is 3.7 upto 6th semesters(top 10% of the class). I have a conference paper on CO2 capture and my current thesis is LCA. Hopefully the thesis will be published as well. Thank you

do engineering jobs really care about a cover letter?

CSB has just released a preliminary report in regard to the white liquor tank that collapsed a few months ago in Washington state. I started my career at GP I cannot recall we had an inspection program based on API-653. what's your experience at your mill and or chemical plant? spill the beans here.

Report Here:

I’m currently a plant process engineer with about 4 years of experience, I work in polypropylene..I passed and acquired my PE license last year…:I’m looking for my next challenge, I’m wondering, would it be at all valuable to get my PMP certification? What do yall think

has anyone here transitioned from a startup to any of the big name chem e companies (like Exxon/basf/dupont) as a scientist?

after my PhD I’ve worked at 3 small startups and no matter how many places I apply to I only hear back from other small startups. Is it because I need visa sponsorship? I’m tired of needing to find a new role every year/year and a half and just want some semblance of stability.

I understand it varies but how difficult/how long is it to reach 50k per year as a chemical engineer once you graduate

Edit: you guys in the us are getting paid so well, might consider packing my bags and moving lmaoo

How is it like to intern/work for Chevron as an engineer?

Im trying to get a sense of what things are like in Chevron that does not depend on manager/department.

1. Pay

2. Career growth

3. Company's take on WLB

4. Learning opportunities (for intern)

And does these values carry over to the company's subsidiaries?

Hi everyone! I'm a final-year Chemical/Process Engineering student (Master's )looking for an internship in the decarbonization space — CCUS, green/blue hydrogen, or industrial process optimization.

Which companies would you recommend I target — majors, EPCs, or startups? Any leads or advice are much appreciated!!!☺️

Hi all,

I'm a recent Chem E grad with a penchant for the software/coding side of the industry. Creating computer tools has always been my strong suit (my GitHub is also janKaje if you want to check it out), but I also love the complex engineering and problem solving that Chem E brings - or at least, what I saw in undergrad. I'm pretty good at Python and I'm in the middle of teaching myself Rust and some common software engineering principles like CI/CD. I used those skills to do some advanced electrochemistry research in undergrad, and that taught me that it wouldn't be impossible to combine both of these interests for a potential career.

With that out of the way, is there any way to search for these kinds of jobs in particular? Or is this a little too niche? I've been able to find a few, but they're always scattered in with the LinkedIn recommendations. This one that I found today is maybe the best example of this niche I'm looking for.

If any of you have any suggestions I would be more than grateful :) Thanks so much!

what are some skills you can learn, i already know excel,scada,dwsim,cad and learning ansys cfd now

Currently upskilling and I am beginning with mastering MS Excel.

Any tips on features that would be really useful as a ChemE and possibly some programs I could try to do as practice?

does anyone have a FE chemical practice exam they can share

Hi everyone,

I hold a bachelor’s and a master in Process Engineering. Throughout my 5 years of study, I covered all core ChemE subjects, including fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, heat and mass transfer, reaction engineering, process control, unit operations, organic chemistry...

My master's had a specialization track in Food Engineering, but the degree itself is fundamentally process engineering, and I want to keep my options open for general chemE roles across different industries.

I'm wondering how recruiters and hiring managers view process engineering degrees compared to traditional ChemE titles. Does the distinction cause any friction during ATS screening or interviews, or are the two largely treated as interchangeable in industry?

I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has taken a similar path or hires for these positions!

Is it worth learning excel and python as a chemE student or is there other software that’s more valuable

Hi everyone! so I am a senior chemical engineering student, and I get good grades lol. sometimes I forget some secondary stuff in mass transfer for example that we get taught after awhile and completely forget formulas and it makes me absolutely terrified and that I might be a terrible engineer. Does it often happen to everyone or do i need to fix something?

I’m curious about process engineers who worked in India and later moved to the Middle East (UAE, Saudi, Qatar, etc.), either by applying directly or through their company.

1. How many years of experience did you have when you moved?
2. Did you apply directly or move through your company?
3. How is the work culture compared to India?

Any answers or personal experiences would be really appreciated!

I have a few questions:

1) How much are chemical engineers paid (freshers)?

2) What about a person who has a master's degree?

3) Is getting a master's degree worth it?

4) Which are the prime locations to be employed at?

5) Does the university of graduation matter? What about KFUPM, KSU and KAU? (International students)

6) What can a student do while in uni to make himself standout?

7) Should a student do a specialisation or an internship in the 4th year of his degree?

8) Is polymer science a good specialisation for a chemical engineer? What specialisations could be more beneficial?

Thank you

I am a student about to start my Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering. I want to buy a lap t o p, but what type should I get, one with a dedicated GPU or without one?

And if so, what are all these components?

Western Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh.

Silly question really, but is it possible to work some sort of fully remote job with a master's in ChemE and 1 YoE + 7 YoE in an unrelated industry as an EU citizen from an employer in other places of the EU or even possibly the US?

I know the job market's absolutely cooked right now, but it's especially cooked here (not much in terms of chemical industry, research is almost non existent, with a good chunk of local grads pivoting to jobs such as consulting etc).

Just realised that this is something I can complete within the four years, and I really like the robotics class I'm taking this semester. Wanna hear everyone's thoughts on this combo as its a little unconventional!

I used to use freecalc.net but that site is gone. Does anyone have a recommendation for a site for fictional pipe losses with different viscosity?
