[@macchiato8219]

broo i just started my second year in chemE and from the first day i felt so scared because the courses as hard af, but watching your videos has reminded me of my dream and my passion, thank you so much!

[@AlsworthTV]

No problem! Glad it helped bro, keep going 🙌🏾

[@stacysation6165]

Where do you pursue your course...

Wish there were more people like you on youtube. Insightful video! :)

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it! 🙌🏾

Awesome video! I'm a first year ChemE student at UC and I'm looking for my first Co-Op, so this was really helpful. Thank you!

[@bandilemnisi6395]

i really cant wait to do my in-service training and see which one will they choose for me but i can feel in my energy that Analysing processes is what iam good at.

Your vid has helped me realize what I really want to do thanx soooo much I was gonna go to chemical engineering not really knowing what it meant you saved my soul, now I’m an electrical engineering major

Awesome! I’m glad it was able to help 🙌🏾

What about biotechnology? I am currently applying for a biotech internship as a ChemE

[@AlsworthTV]

I was originally going to put bioprocess engineer in the video, but I took it out last minute. Biotech is a growing specialty for chemical engineers though!

[@oldbutbold]

Quite true although I might add in DCS for a process control engineer other than PLC. Both skills are more likely to go to Electrical/Control Engineer though it depends on the company.

[@AlsworthTV]

Oh ok! Thanks for the correction

[@ninox595]

I get good garde in chemical engineering, but still didn’t like my major the only reason is it the closet major to nuclear engineering and im in love with that major

[@AlsworthTV]

Maybe you can do a masters degree in nuclear engineering at another university to make up for that

[@luisdavidsandoval6072]

Awesome vid, a “Most valuable skills as a CE” would be a killer

[@AlsworthTV]

[@jaylaellis6669]

Thank you for the video! Stepping up in the quality! I think right now manufacturing/production is suited for me. It’s what my internship will involve this summer. The more I actually think about research, the less I want to do it 😭 but we’ll see what I gravitate to after my first term. Hopefully during my second term I can get a taste of another role since I’ll be at the same company for two summers, unless I really like manufacturing. Is Hershey your dream company by chance? :) And what’s your dream role? Do you want to stick with project management? I’m gonna go eat some Hershey’s kisses now.

[@AlsworthTV]

A real one, glad someone notices!! 😊 That's awesome though, I would love to hear what you think about manufacturing after you do a term! And I agree, it's either you're really interested in research or not 😭 Hershey's is not my dream company, I just thought using them as an example would be easy to explain, but now that I'm thinking of it, I feel like they would be a cool company to work for! I want to do a more technical role for my next internship, so no to project management for now. My dream role is still yet to be discovered unfortunately ;(

[@jaylaellis6669]

Hey we have all the time to figure out what our niche is. We’ll probably be thrown into a rotational program for a full time position upon graduation anyways. I feel like everyday I’m learning about more and more unexpected companies that take on chemes. Wasn’t originally looking at agriculture, but my internship will involve producing insecticides and pesticides. Also just got an email about a consulting firm in Tennessee that constructs really nice buildings, and they’re taking on chemes for summer internships. I’m going to their info session because I’m interested to see if I’d legit be a glorified plumber if I worked for them 😭 I’m lowkey open to that position and so many more. Loving the versatility!

[@AlsworthTV]

My goal is by the end of this school year to get a good idea of a possible niche/plan to get there *fingers crossed . I'm proud of you though! keep securing that bag, we love to see it 🙌🏾

[@samanthanuraieen1608]

Hi thanks for this video! its so insightful. If you dont mind, can you share your experience/share some tips for final year Chem E students who are doing their final year projects? thank you!!

[@AlsworthTV]

Thank you!! I’m still a third year chemical engineering student though, otherwise I would share tips

[@albo_9822]

Hi, i like your videos. Next year i'll graduate in chemical engineering and i'm worried about job perspective. In 30 years some countries will become carbon free, so thermoelectrical energy plants and refinery will reduce drastically. What do you think? P.S. Sorry for my english I have probably made some mistakes.

[@AlsworthTV]

True, the demand won’t be as high, maybe look into something else that will never not be in demand (pharma, food/bev industry, tech) but also something that you won’t be miserable doing

[@albo_9822]

[@AlsworthTV]

What are you leaning more towards ?

[@anushtupnandy5437]

Hi man, I am an 18 year old. my college is going to start after 2 days, I took ChemE as my branch. Can you tell me which topics I can cover to get into R&D or something which is interdisciplinary with algorithm writing (ex- coding), because I know coding and am pretty okaish at it. I just feel that doing something like this will help me perform to my fullest. Thanks.

[@AlsworthTV]

I'm not 100% sure, try searching controls/automation engineering research topics on google, maybe that will help give you some topics

[@kathleenarevalo2085]

Online applications can be very difficult since most companies prioritize interviewing people they've actually met. I would highly recommend going to Career Fairs at your school or through professional groups such as AIChE. Do some research before the career fair and make sure recruiters know you are passionate about joining their company to be successful in getting interviews from the Career Fair.

Would you say learning matlab is important when trying to become a chemical engineer??
