New career in chemical engineering processes
Thread Content
I would like to ask the experts here: I haven’t been involved in the chemical industry for four years since graduating, and now I have an opportunity to switch to working in process design. How can I start learning from the basics? I find it quite difficult even to understand drawings these days; I’m not sure what to do Are there any discussion groups for chemical engineering technology?
I’ve set myself as a top poster – is there still anyone active on the forum?
Endure loneliness and learn more! It’s not shameful to ask those beneath one for advice!
Design work requires going through a stage of learning the basics, something that schools cannot teach you. If you start working in design right after graduation, it’s relatively easy to get into the field ； Starting to work on chemical engineering design again after four years requires first overcoming one’s mindset, getting rid of distractions, and learning alongside new employees who have just started working.
Try harder; it would be great to become familiar with some of the devices.
I worked at a design institute; my master’s thesis focused on catalysts. When I first started working there, it was extremely difficult for me. It is recommended to seek advice from seniors more often, and then buy another book on the system design of chemical plants. Work on projects and engage in practical work during the day, and study theory at night.
Thank you. There probably aren’t many tasks left at the moment; the supervisor hasn’t made any arrangements yet, so I was just shown the guidelines
Yes, it means starting from scratch
