A junior student is seeking help; please assist me, seniors
Thread Content
I’m a student majoring in chemical engineering processes. I’ve completed half of the second semester of my junior year, and with my senior year approaching, I need to think about finding a job. It’s not easy to land a good position, so I want to take action ahead of time; I hope to get a job at a design firm. What do you think – would they be willing to hire someone in my situation? Go there after graduation or what? Thank you all for the suggestions.
You’re studying chemical engineering processes, not chemical engineering design. It’s not easy to get into a design firm; but if you have connections, then it doesn’t matter
What did they go there to do? :lol
Those who study chemical engineering processes have to do whatever is required of them. Hehe
It mainly depends on the interview; if they like you, then there will be no problem
Some design institutes arrange internships in the second semester of their senior year after the contract is signed*
You can give it a try; some of my classmates ended up working at design institutes.
It’s better to study chemical engineering; the subjects learned are more or less the same, but there is a greater emphasis on certain aspects in that field. In fact, those skills aren’t useful in design institutes, unless one specializes in chemical engineering design. As far as I know, however, there is no such major offered in universities these days.
I agree with what was said above; our school doesn’t have a major in chemical engineering design either. For the process engineering program, one course in chemical engineering design is sufficient
Suggestion: Work in a chemical company for 1-2 years first, then go to a design institute; it should be easier to get in that way, and you will also gain practical production experience.
