I feel that it’s easier to find a job in chemical machinery than in chemical processes. Do you agree? Let’s talk about it: Lol, students majoring in chemical engineering machinery can work in machinery factories, but can those majoring in chemical processing do the same? Students majoring in chemical engineering machinery can work on pressure vessels; can those majoring in chemical engineering processes do the same? Students majoring in chemical engineering machinery can switch to a career in lifting and transportation; can those majoring in chemical processes do the same? Chemical engineering machinery can be used in boiler factories. . . . . . . Rongsheng Shipyard in Nantong, Jiangsu is recruiting for chemical machinery positions. . . . . The boiler departments of technical supervision bureaus across the country must have personnel familiar with chemical machinery. . . . . So, there may be slightly more employment opportunities in the field of chemical engineering machinery, but the importance of process engineering is by no means underestimated. In chemical plants, it is common for process engineering to take precedence over equipment-related aspects; equipment engineering is considered a secondary specialty.

Haha, I think so too – Chemical Engineering is a great major. I’m also majoring in Chemical Engineering, hehe. But I have no idea what kind of work I’ll do in the future. I’m already in my third year, and I still don’t know whether I’ll end up working at a chemical plant or not. Last edited by rgsmdqy on 2009-3-22 23:37.]
Is the chemical processing industry putting pressure on us? I don’t think that makes much sense; people succeed by working hard. Others simply have greater abilities, and there are many managers in the machinery industry – it’s just that fewer people work in chemical engineering!
If you study chemistry, engineering, or mechanics, many companies hire guys: lol It doesn’t matter what your grades are
One can work as a field engineer in chemical engineering processes; is it possible to do the same in mechanical engineering? Chemical engineering processes can be used to develop formulas; can machinery do the same? Chemical engineering processes can be used for heat treatment. Can machinery be used? One can be a teacher in chemical engineering processes – can the same be done in mechanical engineering? Chemical engineering processes can be used to create power generation systems – can machinery do the same? Everything should be viewed from two perspectives. Moreover, there is no such thing as a \"chemical processing technique\" these days; what exists now is chemical engineering and technology.
Back to floor 6; obviously, anything related to chemical machinery will do. In comparison, the process engineering field is more confined to the chemical industry, while chemical machinery... manufacturing, mechanical and electrical engineering, quality control, chemistry, nuclear power... it’s like an all-purpose field.
Yes, it’s like a universal solution – there are many processes related to chemistry and mechanical engineering that can be utilized for this purpose
Although chemical engineers can go to machinery factories, when such factories recruit employees, they give priority to those with a degree in mechanical engineering. Although chemists can work in various industries, they each have their own specialized fields. For example, there are specialized fields in robotics, and there are dedicated fields in manufacturing. I really don’t like this major that much; even though some control aspects have been added now, I’m still not proficient in it. Apart from pressure vessels and fluid machinery, this major also covers other areas. The others aren’t very precise!
Chemical engineering offers good employment prospects and has always been a versatile field. However, in recent years, the employment rate in this industry has gradually increased, and it is now almost on par with that of chemical machinery industries. In organizations such as design institutes, process engineering is still the key area; it’s the main department. The device can only serve as an auxiliary component. It’s really pitiful when you think about it. But overall, they complement each other.
The key is finding a job through chemical machinery and figuring out 1+1+? Same, it’s very easy! The guys all have offers from a bunch of large state-owned enterprises and are picking and choosing. We in chemical engineering are the leaders in this field, but it’s not as easy to find a job as in other areas. You can even forget about getting a job at those two design institutes in Beijing; however, it’s quite possible to find work in the field of chemical machinery – it’s actually very popular. The facts are right in front of us
It’s indeed easy to find a job in the chemical machinery field, especially in the area of industrial furnaces; salaries are quite high these days
But I think in chemical plants, chemical processes are given much more attention than chemical machinery
I agree that it’s easier to find employment in the field of chemical engineering machinery compared to chemical engineering; demand for professionals in both fields is high. On the other hand, however, there are fewer schools offering programs in chemical engineering machinery than those offering programs in chemical engineering. You may notice that almost every university offers a chemical engineering program, but there aren’t many universities that have specialized programs in chemical engineering machinery.
Our school only offers the major in Chemical Engineering and Technology; there is no distinction between chemical process engineering and chemical equipment engineering. Although students learn about everything, they don’t delve deep into any particular area, haha
I’m wondering, when a new company is hiring, do they look for more people with skills in manufacturing processes, or more people with expertise in chemical engineering? What job opportunities are there without process chemical engineering machinery? On the other hand, it’s a matter of everyone playing their role; to do well in the chemical industry, no one can succeed on their own
In fact, anything can be accomplished if one puts in the effort; as the saying goes, one must keep learning throughout life. The major one chooses upon graduation is merely a starting point – it’s one’s own efforts that shape the rest of the journey
When I was looking for a job back then, it was easier to find work in the field of chemical machinery compared to chemical engineering. The field of chemical machinery requires more specialized skills. I wonder if that’s accurate; especially for small companies, chemical engineering processes can be mastered through training as operators:$
It’s certain that there are many job opportunities in the field of chemical machinery. However, process technology is the key factor; in short, mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation technologies revolve around process technology. :handshake
What you say isn’t correct either; those processes you mentioned can indeed be carried out. Nowadays, chemical engineering and technology programs also include courses on chemical engineering machinery, which we learned back in the past. As for whether chemical engineering machinery or chemical engineering processes is better, it’s impossible to say with certainty. These days, various industries are interpenetrating with one another, and one just needs to become proficient in the field they work in. The chemical engineering major offers a wide range of employment opportunities, and it’s easy to find a job in this field. I found a job just a few days after graduating and moving to Beijing; I currently work in engineering design.
Chemical engineering processes allow for experiments; switch to chemistry!
