Which is more solid, the former chemical engineering machinery major or the current process control major?

You don’t really learn much in college; it’s mainly through gradual experience after starting work that things become important

Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth; it’s useful to accumulate experience first, as it will be of great help later on.

I studied process control. At the beginning of my studies, the teacher said that it was like a universal solution for various problems. At first I didn’t understand what he meant, but now I realize he was right. Ever since the field shifted from chemical engineering to process control, the teachers focused on process control, while those who stayed in chemical engineering went into marketing. It’s difficult to find a good teacher. So during my studies, I was called over by the teacher frequently. After graduation, my classmates went to pressure vessel manufacturing factories; they didn’t dare to go elsewhere, as their skills were only average. We became too specialized, and I was the only one who ended up working in a chemical plant, where I had to start from scratch. . .

It’s not even a real profession at all. There are people who work in chemical engineering these days, so please don’t try to deceive me by claiming there are no such professionals... Coming here just to harass us... It’s completely unnecessary to create trouble like this... Apologize right away! Immediately! :lol :lol :lol

I disagree with Tao Mu’s view; it’s too subjective....

It turns out that--------------over-controlled ones are still a little stronger... :lol :lol :lol

In principle, I agree with the views of the three people above.............. :lol :lol :lol

The four people upstairs are too extreme, but overall they remain fair; well done! :lol :lol :lol

I’m also majoring in chemical engineering; I entered university in the second year after the program was changed from chemical engineering to process control. Personally, I don’t think there’s much difference in terms of solidity; to be honest, most people just muddle through in college. The real way is to gain experience through work.

The Chemical Engineering and Process Control majors are essentially the same type of major! It’s just that the word “control” was added, which means more things need to be learned; of course, that’s better, right?:lol

In fact, the scope of process control is much broader than that of chemical engineering. As for whether one’s knowledge is solid, I believe it has little to do with the name of the field; what matters is whether the individual puts in enough effort.

The former specialty in chemical engineering machinery and the current specialty in process control were originally the same field; just as the former specialty in mechanical design has evolved into the current specialty in mechanical design and automation. This change is driven by the needs of society today. Modern mechanical equipment is becoming increasingly digital and automated, and it is no longer sufficient to rely solely on knowledge related to mechanics alone. Thus, new specialized areas have emerged, which is a sign of societal progress. The downside of this is that there is less time allocated for practical training, and it seems that students’ foundational skills are somewhat weaker than before. However, if they make an effort once they enter the workplace and come into contact with real-world situations, they should be able to achieve greater success than in the past, especially when dealing with new types of instruments and equipment

I fairly agree with this view; if the curriculum is made less extensive, there will be less time for study. In the past, we spent a whole year studying only descriptive geometry, and now I don’t know how long we’ll have to spend on it

Of course it’s chemical engineering; those who graduated with me in chemical engineering have always performed better than those of us who studied chemical technology. Process control is just a new term – I really don’t see what the difference between it and chemical engineering is.

Tao Ban has been creating trouble everywhere in the workplace communication section these days. Is Tao Ban a university professor?

Let me share my opinion. I majored in process control, and nowadays the courses related to this field are less specialized than they used to be; this is a problem that exists throughout universities. There’s a need for a more comprehensive approach, but with fewer class hours, one can only cover the basics. As for practical training, teachers often tell us about the practical experiences they had during their school days – that was when they really got their hands dirty doing things. Now, our practical training is just a brief overview; we merely get to see the equipment, and companies are also reluctant to go to the extra trouble. In fact, this is a problem existing in the entire education system; vertical comparisons should not be made.

In my opinion, class hours should keep up with the times; today’s universities also need to teach about the market economy

The two majors are similar; it’s basically the same thing with just a different name. For example, in our school, the major in Chemical Engineering Machinery was simply renamed Process Equipment.

It’s just a different name; in many schools, teachers still call it a calculator :)

Was it because the chemical processing machine was used for a long time in the past? Newcomers should not compare themselves to veterans! Don’t underestimate yourself!
