The people want a sit down interview with Paul🦆! Some 60 minutes shit. Make it happen Jup!! 😂🙏🔥

⬆️ If this comment gets 50 likes too, we will certainly make it happen! 🙌

I like physics, but also chemistry, technology, and math. Even regular chemistry degrees have some physics, but chemeng spends alot of time on fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, just like mechanical. Some programs make students even take statics and the first term of circuit analysis. So it has this particular ratio of physics, chemistry, and math, but sometimes includes so.e biology while still having plenty of practical engineering skills found in mechanical and electrical engineering.

[@ChemEngWeekly]

A very insightful comment!

Interesting to see young students who just starts studying. I got my MS in Chemical E in 1984 when Cold War was a major applicant for ChemE products.

My daughter has just been to Imperial for a chemical engineering course interview. She starting university next year. SHE LOVES IMPERIAL!!

[@ChemEngWeekly]

Congratulations to her! I wish her all the best and hopefully she gets an offer! 🙌

[@ChemicalEngineeringLife]

Amazing to see the new video format!! Really entertaining and informative at the same time! Keep it up! 😀

[@ChemEngWeekly]

Thank you! I’m glad that you enjoyed it, hopefully we will keep trying to bring more quality novelty to the ChemEng creating space! 🙌

a lot of ‘truths’ in the video 😂 I’d like a part two ✌🏽

[@ChemEngWeekly]

Thank you Hassan! Glad you enjoyed it, part 2 🔜 🔜 🔜

[@callumsturman6465]

I would have personally asked them "Why did you choose chem eng and why do you deeply regret that decision" instead

[@ChemEngWeekly]

Well it seems you have mind reading abilities! We ask something similar about regrets in part 2, so stay tuned! 😅

What specialization do you recommend for chemical engineering: biotechnology, energy, sustainability or materials?

[@ChemEngWeekly]

Hey there! So the answer is… it depends on your interests 😅 pay wise, energy has the highest earning potential right now and would be preferred for roles in energy and oil and gas, whilst for the future sustainability will be likely is greater demand and so more up and coming, even if not so high paying at the moment. Biotech also has a close second to pay potential (given the links to the pharma industry which general pays well) and materials can be lucrative in the correct markets (such as Germany or in catalyst development roles at big chemical companies). Overall, it comes down to preference and what you are interested in. If I was to choose one, I would pick biotech, but that’s simply because that is the area that interests me the most! Ranking wise it would be 1) biotech 2) energy 3) materials 4) sustainability for me. Happy for the community to reply and help out this person too, please reply below!

[@official-chibby237]

Nice video 😊 I just got admitted to study chemical engineering and i think this video is really helpful 🤗 thank you❤

[@ChemEngWeekly]

Congratulations! And I’m glad it was helpful 🙌

[@mungufenipeter]

😅 it was interesting. In Uganda material science is a course unit under chem eng.

[@ChemEngWeekly]

That’s quite interesting! Is it a compulsory unit or one you can choose?

What will be the salary for chemical engineers

[@ChemEngWeekly]

It depends on the role, as chemical engineering is not a single role 👍did you want a specific video?

[@samiulhaque1512]

Can you suggest me some good community for knowing about chemical engineering in any social media.

[@ChemEngWeekly]

Sure! Reddit (r/chemicalengineering), our Instagram page and @chemengglife is my recommendation! Was there anything specific you were looking for?

[@samiulhaque1512]

@@ChemEngWeekly Thanks,i was looking for chemical engineering community on Facebook and LinkedIn.But unable to find any good community.

[@ChemEngWeekly]

Sorry just seeing this now, unfortunately not aware of any on those platforms…

Mathematics degree from top uni is better

[@ChemEngWeekly]

On what basis? Interested to hear your take 🧐

[@davidc4408]

@@ChemEngWeekly has higher average salary. Can break into high finance and quant trading although you can do same with chemical engineering as solid STEM. Just think more options open with top mathematics degree

[@ChemEngWeekly]

That may be true for sure, but the depth of chemical engineering industry surely has to contest with that in my opinion. They can go into high paying sectors like oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, textiles and plastics and cosmetics which are the higher end of the pay scale (not quite quants sure, but still quite a lot higher than average), and if you add that with the fact that they can go into finance and software development/ machine learning too, surely the versatility of ChemEng makes it at least on par with a top maths degree all options considered?

[@davidc4408]

@@ChemEngWeekly Totally agree. Both are excellent degrees, besides mathematics degrees from top universities making a lot of money, CE majors really have a real world contribution to the world in making it better.

[@Loveisgod54321]

​@davidc4408 so to conclude this short debate mathematics degree from a top university isn't really any better?!!

[@DavejrJr-pf2dd]

ChemE is a scam, the curriculum is a collection of many different fields and it's hard to find a job.
