Day in the Life of a Chemical Engineer

[@punkyreggaeparty8786]

Wish this video actually showed more of your job and what it consists of. It's why I clicked.

[@VidimusWolf]

It's incredibly refreshing to see such an authentic and HEALTHY life video. Thank you!

[@shawn.builds]

🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@YTPKingJC]

you taught me nothing

[@ChemEngWeekly]

Work- life balance is important, and this video shows this off perfectly! Great video once again Shawn, and all the best for your coding course 👍

[@shawn.builds]

Thank you bro! I’m gonna try to not bail this time 😂

[@alwaleedherma]

It's incredible to see that your company is paying you to go running in the morning, make your bed, filming yourself eating, etc. You're so motivating, i want to do the same, so when I will play fifa instead of working, i will make money. I mean, that way, i will be able to buy the new play station.

[@shawn.builds]

I think I get paid for the job but yeah that works

[@rory5670]

This is such a cool video, making me want to be a chemical engineer!

[@shawn.builds]

happy to help out!

[@bilalrahim2076]

its alot more difficult than it sounds tho, keep that in mind

[@Auoric]

I'm on my sophomore year and I'm barely surviving calculus lmaoo I hope you enjoy the science when you get into chemE

[@fishtheperson]

@@Auoric What level of math is required for a chemical engineering degree? I'm a senior in HS right now and am taking calculus 3.

[@theintrovertedgirl2503]

You usually need calc 1, calc 2, calc 3, differential equations, a calc based probability class, linear algebra and a lot of math-heavy physics/chem classes

[@TCXGamer]

We need a vedio about how to improve ourselves as chemical engineers specially during the coronavirus condition

[@ryancifra]

Skillshare Sponsor?!? LETS GOOO

[@shawn.builds]

😮‍💨 Crazy right???

[@knoela8024]

I used to take a lot of vitamins when I worked at a chemical company. I remember that.

[@sillafeafea7766]

Thanks for almost ignoring the part where you work as a chemical engineer. I clicked on this video because I wanted to know more about your life!

[@pinku708]

Do you typically work from home at your job? I’m majoring in ChemE and starting college in a month and honestly I have no clue about what I’m getting myself into.

[@DariusMortazavi]

Getting excellent self awareness vibes on this one

[@shawn.builds]

Probably too much self awareness 😂

[@BlueCollarEngineer111]

I didn't know Chemical Engineers can have a remote job, except they do non-chemical engineering jobs.. what company are you working at?

[@allisonbrockman6010]

What job position do you have that allows you to work remotely?

[@jameslimpin]

Thanks for this honest and authentic video. I really enjoyed watching your videos

[@shawn.builds]

Glad u enjoyed it James !

[@junyoungchoe1197]

How often could chemical engineers find a job that does not require you to work at a plant? I don't want to move to a middle of no where and be exposed to a rather dangerous working environment. (just curious if this is possible being a chem engineer)

[@shawn.builds]

environmental companies, design and consulting firms, R&D, pharmaceuticals

[@allisonbrockman6010]

Respectfully, if you don't work at a plant you won't get the boots on the ground experience you need of how it all works and what's realistic.

[@deyvchristianacevedo4106]

As a junior who’s interested about chE, and knows not alot. What courses should i take and be aware of? And what skills, projects, things should i immediately try to get a hold of?

[@thecollegeguideusa]

Struggles with coding but actually knows how to use Aspen? We must have had very different exercises in college because Aspen is still pretty much a mystery but I'll choose in Python all day. Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@shawn.builds]

Haha I’m so bad at both

[@GlitchPG3D]

I’m going to become a chemical engineer, probably and if I don’t I’ll be an organic chemist. I remember in 9th grade we did stuff on chemistry and got nothing wrong for almost the whole unit, then in the last few days I got a couple things wrong. Do You like being a chemical engineer?

[@boumbonera5380]

Great video bro I want to ask you if you learned to use Aspen at University or later in the work ?

[@shawn.builds]

I learned it in university, but I got to practice a lot at work!

[@ShahbazAli-ur5nb]

@@shawn.builds did you practice and learn at work by yourself? Or did your peers and mentors at work help you significantly with hysys

[@abceasyable]

Ayyy great vid Shawn! Hope you're able to catch up on sleep this weekend

[@shawn.builds]

sleep is something i'll never figure out lol

[@filiposspiridakos522]

Is it very hard for a Chemical Engineering graduate from Europe to go and work in America?(either USA or Canada) Love you Shawn,been a.supporter since way back❤

[@shawn.builds]

I have no idea sorry!

[@bilalrahim2076]

best chemical engineering youtuber imo You always make videos on topics I'm looking for, thanks! How hard is the work itself btw? Compared to uni work? 2nd yrs chemE student atm and finding the uni work extremely boring and monotonous :'(

[@shawn.builds]

i hated 2nd year, 3rd year is better. and work is COMPLETELY different from uni. my favourite year was capstone year lol

[@ChemicalEngineeringGuy]

I had some knees/IT Band issues as well... Practice some yoga, it might help XD

[@AmulenLucy-fc4nz]

I want to be a chemical engineer

[@jonatana8531]

Do you recommend becoming a chemical engineer or should I go for petroleum engineering or electrical engineering

[@shawn.builds]

Chemical and electrical are more general, petroleum will limit you to oil and gas

[@jonatana8531]

@@shawn.builds which one would be more successful? I’d like to be an engineer but idk which route to go. I want to make money and also be comfortable in life so what do you recommend. And thanks for the reply hope you’re doing well and family :)

[@shawn.builds]

@@jonatana8531 they both make good money, the more important question you should ask yourself is which you are more passionate about. In that field you will excel more because of your interest, and thus learn more, get promoted faster, and achieve more!

[@jeelpatelvlogs]

Hiii brother i have completed chemical engineering but loss my interest in it planing to do IT is it good or bad. ?

[@powerequinox]

No one: Shawn every couple of weeks: might deactivate my insta 🤷‍♂️ Jk jk, good video bro 😎

[@shawn.builds]

😂 can’t make videos if I’m always on Instagram

[@powerequinox]

Fair enough aha

[@hsb2207]

What salary a fresher can expect as a chemical engineer in canada?

[@ChristineBuyan-vs1li]

Are Chemical Engineers in demand in Canada?

[@TCXGamer]

where are you bro

[@shawn.builds]

Right here man

[@abhishekantre8397]

Can you please tell what skills are requires for R&D department?? Is Masters degree required to get job in R&D department??

[@shawn.builds]

Nope, I know ppl working in R&D without a masters

[@orangebottle7061]

Isn't life easy and enjoyable 😌

[@shawn.builds]

sometimes!

[@BlackopsUSN]

Do you need to be smart to become an engineer like being good at mental maths etc?

[@shawn.builds]

Just math, not necessarily mental math. It’s about being disciplined and logical. I don’t like “smart” because it implies talent over hard work!

[@bagwithmilk]

Bro did like 5% work

[@angeloperalta8909]

what happened to your right arms

[@janjmtc]

Hola me encanto tu video saludos :D, ¿trabajas en la industria de oil and gas? y como puedo aprender análisis de datos

[@shawn.builds]

check out my skills for chemical engineers video, I mention a free data analysis course there! I work in clean tech!~

[@jmc7526]

I always have this doubt Can a chemical engineering undergraduate student work part time to manage his uni fee Or is chemical engineering all about hustling full time on studies?

[@shawn.builds]

Some people are able to do it, it’s very hard though!

[@priyaprachisingh6361]

Sir will you please study with me about chemical engineering

[@liamsebestyen4983]

Looking at transferring into Chemical Engineering from Chemistry. How much Chemistry is in chemical engineering.

[@BaBababa-hy6vv]

Hello, in our curriculum we have Gen Chem, A-chem, O-chem, and P-chem. And other Chem Engg major with a little bit of mixture of chemistry such as in Material Balances and others. I think Chemistry subs in ChemEngg are a little bit fast paced compared to BS Chem. Goodluck on your decision!

[@kartikkoyala4762]

can we make and develop new drugs after doing chemical engineering

[@shawn.builds]

yes of course! biological engineering is huge, you can work for pharmaceutical companies

[@tiavanidante917]

[@shawn.builds]

Yes!
