New regulations for the 2016 Chemical Engineering exam
Thread Content
Hello everyone. I believe you have already seen the new additions to the examination guidelines; this time there are many more standards from TSG as well as content related to work safety. What do you think the direction of the topics this year will be?
Will there be a focus on safety aspects, such as the calculation of safety valves?
This year, those university textbooks weren’t included; I’m not sure if the syllabus has changed. No one in the forum mentioned this either; I think it’s a delicate matter, and it’s likely that the focus will change this year
There were no exams last year – did the association work behind closed doors to develop new syllabuses and new textbooks?
Personal estimates are likely to change: focus on standards and safety, with less emphasis on computing and memory
Starting from the exams in 2014, there was a clear shift toward emphasizing safety; going forward, the primary focus for chemical engineers will be safety first, along with economic Reasonableness.
