What should a newcomer in a design institute do in their first year
Thread Content
I graduated with a degree in chemical engineering, both at the bachelor’s and master’s levels, and I have just started working at a large domestic chemical engineering design firm. It’s been over a week since I started working; I spend every day reading the company’s design guidelines and work manuals, with not much to do. The company only started training in August; according to the veteran employees, the training period is one year. I would like to ask the more experienced colleagues: what should newcomers do during this period? I also plan to sign up for some basic exams for registered engineers recently; do any of you who are more experienced have any recommendations? The foundation of injection molding has already been covered.
Find a project drawing and refer to the specifications based on it
The compound is still the best; the training facilities there are excellent, and newcomers learn a wide range of things. Since the fundamentals of chemical engineering have been mastered, one can choose from power engineering, HVAC, and water supply and drainage. Power engineering is the core field of chemical engineering, while the other two are not, but they are still quite related.
Here are a few suggestions: 1. Find out more about the people in the design institute – who are the experts in various fields, who are the leaders’ relatives, and become familiar with the networking rules there; this will be beneficial for your future work. 2. Speak less and do more; be polite. Be not afraid of hard work. Keep a tight lid on what you say, especially when dealing with salespeople who you don’t know well – you’re not familiar with the ins and outs involved with other designers or key clients. 3. Familiarize yourself with various design standards, common design software (to facilitate collaboration with colleagues), and the main design processes used by your institution. Review the design drawings prepared for other clients in the past, think critically and ask questions as needed. Pay attention to confidentiality rules and avoid disclosing design information casually. 4. Find out about the system for advancing professional titles and assuming positions such as department head within the institute, and make the necessary preparatory arrangements in advance. 5. If your home isn’t local, plan to buy a house and prepare for your future life.
It’s best if someone can guide you; if not, you can look up the organization’s historical records on your own, which are usually available in complete sets~~~
