A newbie asks timidly
Thread Content
A beginner is asking here: what’s the use of registering as a chemical engineer? Is it useful for finding a job or for obtaining professional titles? I started working this year and there are many things I don’t understand; I would appreciate it if my seniors could give me some guidance. Also, I work in a pharmaceutical factory but have not been involved in chemical engineering design – is it possible for me to take the exam?
You can search on Baidu; the most talented people in our company are senior chemical engineers. It’s better to take the exam than not, but we’re a design firm; well, I’m not sure.
Thank you. I searched on Baidu, but there are different opinions, and I’m not sure which one to follow. I’m worried that even if I pass the basic exam, I might not be allowed to take the professional exam
In the OP’s case, taking the certification exam for chemical engineering is not very useful
Why? Then what exam would be better to take?
It seems that the exams for pharmaceutical factories aren’t very important. Moreover, since you don’t work with chemical engineering design on a regular basis, even if you pass the basic exams, it’s not certain that you’ll pass the specialized exams – it’s quite difficult.
Design firms generally require this certificate; it is of no use in the general chemical industry. Its only purpose is that design firms need it, but few people manage to obtain it. Therefore, those who do get it can register with a design firm, and they are paid a substantial fee for doing so. People with a degree in chemistry or a related field can take this exam, and the registration and examination processes are not too strict, but the professional exams themselves are quite difficult. As a result, this certificate holds high value.
Oh, thank you. Will the professional exam include design cases?
