This post was last edited by kaminocmyhc on 2010-11-5 at 10:16. I have a bachelor’s degree in chemistry, and I am pursuing a master’s degree in organic chemistry. However, I have done a lot of work related to chemical engineering and am also very interested in this field; I would like to work in this area in the future. But I’m not sure whether I qualify to become an engineer, so I’m seeking advice from those who are more experienced… Thank you very much

It’s really hard to say something; I’ve seen at least dozens of posts like the one by the original poster in this forum. The instructions are available in the pinned posts, or they can be easily found using the forum search function. If one doesn’t even have that much time, then passing the CPA exam is likely to be difficult as well. I’ve posted the general requirements below; the original poster can take a look. This post is locked. If you have other questions, there is existing information on the forum; I believe it shouldn’t be too difficult for you to find it. Any citizen of the People’s Republic of China who complies with **laws and regulations, adheres to professional ethics, and possesses the necessary professional education and work experience may apply to take the examination for registration as a registered chemical engineer. I. Those who meet one of the following conditions may apply to take the basic examination: (1) Having a bachelor’s degree or higher in this field (referring to fields such as Chemical Engineering and Technology, Polymer Materials and Engineering, Inorganic Non-metallic Materials Engineering, Pharmaceutical Engineering, Light Chemical Engineering, Food Science and Engineering, Bioengineering, etc.; see the detailed list of old and new fields for registered chemical engineers for more details) or a related field (such as Process Equipment and Control Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Safety Engineering, etc.; see the detailed list of old and new fields for registered chemical engineers for more details).  (II) Hold an associate degree in this or a related field, with at least 1 year of experience in chemical engineering design work. (III) Hold a bachelor’s degree or higher in another engineering field, with at least 1 year of cumulative experience in chemical engineering design work. II. Those who have passed the basic examination and meet one of the following conditions may apply to take the professional examination: (1) Having obtained a doctoral degree in this field, with at least 2 years of experience in chemical engineering design work ; Or, after obtaining a doctoral degree in a related field, having worked in chemical engineering design for a total of 3 years.   (II) Having obtained a master’s degree in this field, with at least 3 years of cumulative experience in chemical engineering design work ; Or, after obtaining a master’s degree in a related field, having worked in chemical engineering design for a total of 4 years.   (III) Having obtained a double bachelor’s degree including this major, or having graduated from a graduate program in this field, and having accumulated at least 4 years of experience in chemical engineering design work ; Or obtain a double bachelor’s degree in a related field, or complete postgraduate studies, and have accumulated at least 5 years of experience in chemical engineering design work. (IV) After obtaining a bachelor’s degree from a university that has passed the education assessment for this field, having accumulated at least 4 years of experience in chemical engineering design work ; Or, after obtaining a bachelor’s degree from a university that has not passed the evaluation for education in this field, having worked in chemical engineering design for a total of 5 years ; Or possess a bachelor’s degree in a related field, with at least 6 years of experience in chemical engineering design work.   (5) Having obtained an associate degree in this field, with at least 6 years of cumulative experience in chemical engineering design work ; Or, after obtaining an associate degree in a related field, having worked in chemical engineering design for a total of 7 years.   (VI) Having obtained a bachelor’s degree or higher in another engineering field, with at least 8 years of cumulative experience in chemical engineering design work. III. As of December 31, 2002, those who meet one of the following conditions may be exempt from the basic examination and only need to take the professional examination: (I) Having obtained a doctoral degree in this field, with at least 5 years of cumulative experience in chemical engineering design work ; Or, after obtaining a doctoral degree in a related field, having worked in chemical engineering design for a total of 6 years.  (II) Having obtained a master’s degree in this field, with at least 6 years of cumulative experience in chemical engineering design work ; Or, after obtaining a master’s degree in a related field, having worked in chemical engineering design for a total of 7 years.  (III) Having obtained a double bachelor’s degree including this major, or having completed a graduate program in this field, and having accumulated at least 7 years of experience in chemical engineering design work ; Or, having obtained a double bachelor’s degree in a related field or graduating from a graduate program, with at least 8 years of experience in chemical engineering design work. (IV) Having obtained a bachelor’s degree in this field, with at least 8 years of cumulative experience in chemical engineering design work ; Or, after obtaining a bachelor’s degree in a related field, having accumulated at least 9 years of experience in chemical engineering design work.  (5) Having obtained an associate degree in this field, with a total of 9 years of experience in chemical engineering design work ; Or, after obtaining an associate degree in a related field, having worked in chemical engineering design for a total of 10 years.   (VI) Having obtained a bachelor’s degree or higher in another engineering field, and having accumulated at least 12 years of experience in chemical engineering design work. (7) After obtaining an associate degree in another engineering field, having accumulated at least 15 years of experience in chemical engineering design work. (8) Having obtained a secondary vocational diploma in this field, and having accumulated at least 25 years of experience in chemical engineering design work ; Or, after obtaining a secondary vocational diploma in a related field, having worked in chemical engineering design for a total of 30 years.
