Regarding future career choices, I hope everyone can give some advice
Thread Content
I have been graduated for four years now; right after graduation I was assigned to a mine. From nothing, the site has grown to reach a certain scale today. I was involved in the design phase at first and then in the commissioning phase, and the project is now almost complete – there’s still a little over a year left before it’s finished. I majored in metallurgical engineering, and for my next career I want to work in the field of process design. I currently have some knowledge of the relevant design software and design approaches, though not at a deep level. I would like to ask the fellow sailors here: what preparations are needed if one wants to switch to a career in design? Is it necessary to obtain a registration as an engineer (either a chemical engineering engineer or a metallurgical survey and design engineer)? Should we explore more design software in the next step? (Please provide examples, dear users.) I hope everyone can provide detailed suggestions. Thank you.
Tell me what software will be used~~
Software is just a tool; get involved in the field first
The design industry focuses on design, not on software； The original poster can first apply to some design firms to give it a try; there’s a chance of getting an interview, and the interviewer might ask you some professional questions to see if you can handle them.
It depends on one’s career plans; currently, things are tough in all industries, making it difficult to choose a job.
The chemical industry has been in a downturn over the past two years; if there are other options, it’s better to avoid working in this field. I work at a chemical engineering design institute and am thinking about leaving
With project experience, it should be relatively easier to find a job, right?； Once you have determined your career direction, stick to it
