Are all those who take the CAAC exam involved in design? Is it worth taking the exam to become a registered chemical engineer?
Thread Content
Dear colleagues, do you all work in chemical engineering design? If not, what jobs do you have? I currently work at a chemical equipment company; however, one of its subsidiaries also has design qualifications. It’s not easy to obtain the title of registered chemical engineer either. I’m wondering whether, after putting in a lot of effort to get this certificate, I would be able to work at a design firm. I don’t do design work at the moment. Is it difficult for those who are not working in design now, and even if they pass the relevant exams they lack practical work experience, making it hard to switch careers in the future? I would like to ask the fellow sailors.
It depends on the individual; those who work in design will eventually need this
After obtaining this certificate, it will be easier to work at a design firm; in fact, one can apply for jobs at design agencies right after passing the basic exams, while some people in smaller design firms fail even those basic exams. If you go to an engineering design firm, having a background in chemical equipment companies is quite advantageous; it will enable you to work on equipment design in the future. Don’t set the bar too high
I do set the standards quite high; I always think that those who enter design firms these days are usually postgraduate graduates from universities, or outstanding students from 211 or 985 institutions. Just having a solid foundation is enough to apply to a design firm? Thank you very much for your reply, Haiyou; I still need to gather some information. Happy New Year to both of you!
Design becomes easier to approach once you have practical experience on site; obtaining a certification is merely required for professional qualifications.
