What other knowledge should analysts possess?
Thread Content
I used to be an analyst for over a decade, and now I have switched to working in the engineering department. I would like to ask everyone: what other knowledge do I need to have?
In my opinion, the following are necessary: relevant professional knowledge, specialized technical training, a rigorous work attitude, a passion for one’s job, basic knowledge in related fields, carefulness, sensitivity to data, and good practical skills in conducting experiments. These qualities enable one to develop better analysis methods for a given research topic. Additionally, practical experimental skills and a proactive work attitude are important, as is acquiring more knowledge in related areas, which helps to obtain results more quickly.
Our company’s engineering department has a wide range of responsibilities, covering civil engineering, production processes, as well as the installation and commissioning of equipment. I wonder how the owner’s engineering department is?
It depends on the scope of your department’s responsibilities; whatever is frequently involved should be learned and strengthened, so as to handle tasks with ease: handshake
I’m going in the exact opposite direction of the original poster. When I first joined the company, it was still in the construction phase. Although the approach was analysis, at that time I started by looking at the drawings from a civil engineering perspective and then moved on to the installation phase. I became familiar with the processes and equipment during the installation process, and eventually returned to my original role in quality inspection and analysis. It is recommended that the poster put more effort into technology and equipment. After analysis, there are still areas where the process and equipment are connected; it’s easier to get involved in such areas and to identify the key points. Ensure proper tracking in the civil works aspect to prepare for equipment installation.
Anything that is frequently involved should be learned and strengthened:* :lol
Analysis is just a grain of sand in engineering; there’s so much you need to learn! In fact, the amount of knowledge is secondary; what matters most is whether one is willing to learn.
The poster is referring to what knowledge should be available in the engineering department, I guess. Each position has its own responsibilities and corresponding tasks. In the case of our organization, the engineering department is primarily responsible for project construction; therefore, it is necessary to have knowledge in this area of project development. For example, when building a chemical processing plant and the process requirements specify which analysis and testing procedures are needed, those working in the field of analysis must select appropriate methods for these tests, procure the necessary instruments and reagents, install and calibrate the analytical equipment, and develop relevant procedures for analysis and testing.
From analysis to the engineering department, the variation is a bit large; haha, the relationship between the two isn’t very strong! The engineering department should cover the planning, execution, and maintenance of projects, and it should have a closer relationship with production equipment. It is recommended that the original poster provide more information on production techniques and equipment. The company should have clear procedures for how projects are carried out; as the poster gains more work experience in this area, his skills will naturally improve.
I have been working in chemical engineering for several years now. What’s really most important is having skills, that is, competence; the ability to interact with others is also very important. When working in engineering, experience is essential – the more experience one has, the higher one’s salary tends to be! ! In today’s society, working in engineering is very profitable; I hope the original poster will achieve success soon! !
You had better study *thoroughly the instrumentation, electrical systems, and process equipment
