I just finished the intermediate chemical engineering exam organized by the Beijing Personnel Bureau today; I’d like to share my thoughts
Thread Content
I took the intermediate professional title exam for the organic chemistry field at the Beijing Personnel Bureau today. I’ll give a brief summary, in the hope that it will be helpful to those who will take the exam in the future. 1. The syllabus covers a lot of content related to chemical engineering principles and physical chemistry, but not much of it appears in the exams. When reviewing, it is important to focus on the basic concepts and the ways in which parameters change under the influence of factors such as temperature and pressure. 2. The key areas that need to be reviewed include: olefin cracking, the synthesis of vinyl chloride from ethylene followed by the production of polyvinyl chloride, the synthesis of vinyl chloride from acetylene followed by the production of polyvinyl chloride, the synthesis of ethylene oxide from ethylene followed by the production of epoxy resins, and fixed-bed and fluidized-bed reactors. I heard that this was a key area of focus last year, and it remains so this year; it seems we really need to pay close attention to it. 3. Search the Internet for some basic information on chemical industry environmental protection and take a look. 4. The outline mentioned some content related to patents, but it was not covered in the exam. 5. In the principles of chemical engineering, emphasis is placed on liquid transport, pumps, fluidization, and distillation, with some of these topics appearing in the exams. 6. Physical chemistry focuses on catalysts, the concept of reaction rate constants, and related topics. 7. Of the points mentioned above, the most important one is the second one; in my opinion, the content should account for around 30–40%
How did the OP do in the exam? Exams, exams… they really drive one crazy~~
Noted, thanks for sharing your exam experience
Hehe, it’s just an exam on the basic knowledge for intermediate professional titles
I don’t know the grades yet; it’s already the end of July. Only when I arrived at the examination room and heard what the candidates were saying did I learn that there are training classes available for this (although it is prohibited to offer such training), and that one has to pay a few hundred yuan to guarantee passing the exam. Oh my God, this is so unfair. Before the exam, I reviewed Principles of Chemical Engineering and Physical Chemistry. I referred to HaiChuan’s materials, which covered a lot of content on olefin cracking, ethylene oxide, and polyvinyl chloride from last year’s exams, so I went over that material again. As for how the exam went, I’ll just wait quietly for the news.
Reply to percy_qi: The intermediate professional title examination consists of a written test and a defense session. After passing the written test, one must apply to the Beijing Chemical Industry Association for the defense, submitting relevant documents along with a thesis that must be related to the field of work. The defense is scheduled for October. If both stages are passed, a certificate for intermediate engineer is issued. . . . . . . By “basic knowledge exam,” you mean the exam for registered engineers, right? Registered engineers have to pass both a basic exam and a specialized exam.
Not bad, not bad at all! I learned a bit!
After passing this exam, will one be issued an intermediate engineer certificate that still requires passing tests in professional English and computer skills?
Thank you for sharing; I can take the exam only next year.
Reply to lxmeteor416: One can take the exam after two years of postgraduate experience, and there is no requirement to pass exams in English or computer science. Undergraduates are said to have five years of work experience. Some large state-owned enterprises do not require examinations; promotions are determined internally by the company, such as CNPC and Sinopec.
