@@st3altypandas63 When you say previous years, do you mean undergrad? or doing a PhD in ChemE today vs years ago? Either way, I think a chemical engineering PhD is great if you love research. I do, and love getting deep into the details of how stuff works. So far I have loved the program and am learning a lot. I do think I will want to go into industry as well, I just want to get my PhD first. But I could understand why you would want to get a job and make money now. A PhD is not essential to be successful in industry. It only opens different doors. Although masters and PhD can have some overlap in the positions they open. If you like the doors the PhD opens, then go that route. Otherwise, it may not be worth it for you. A master's in engineering is usually sufficient to get many engineering jobs out there except for usually research-based positions.

ChemE is not that difficult if you are motivated. However it can be hard to really understand how the material you are learning in class will be applied in real life and that can be a hindrance in your studies. If you can get a co-op or internship early on or find some way to get exposed to or learn about industry then you will likely have a much easier time in your courses. Also if you go work before you graduate that's how you'll know if you really like ChemE. I see so many people that are in it for the lab work and chemistry but it's all about large scale processes involving chemicals :)

[@brian332]

When I started Chemical Engineering studies, I found (most often than not) some subjects really boring and tiresome. But then again, if there is an interest into something, nothing may be boring or hard (challenging, yes, but not HARD). I guess I was simply tired of getting into the theory without that knowledge being seen put into practice (not lab-scale since it's very controlled). My interests shifted when I was invited for a Petro-chemical plant tour as part of a plant design project. My interest and love for this engineering grew 10 fold. It was awesome to see the cogs of engineering design take shape from paper to large-scale plant. And what is "free Time" ? lol. I was lucky enough to have a balanced life during University. Haha.

Studying cheme while working as a Hospital Pharmacist was brutal workload wise. I came to it thinking i can design some new drug but after 2nd year i realize it's the furthest course from what i initially wanted to do. Sticked with it through 5 years that was the most fun/stressful part of my life mostly because of trying to balanced work and school. One time I was at an exam in thermodynamics II and our doctor called me to do some drug-drug interaction case study on a specific patient who is taking vancomycin. Had to ask the professor if I can continue the exam later in the afternoon (which he agreed to, thankfully) and I went immediately went back to the hospital. PS. Even as a chemical engineer, I still took the higher paying job of a Hospital Pharmacist. If i took that junior engineer job in that water treatment plant, i'd have to agree to be paid less than half of what i earn as a pharmacist and i just can't. But then, i can still call myself an Engineer as my colleagues do with me in the hospital just for the fun of it.

@@ChemicalEngineeringGuy it gave me a deeper view physics-wise of the process flow of different drug distribution systems.

Mathematics is part of all branches of engineering. However, in professional practice you’ll spend 90% of your effort using linear algebra, geometry and statistics not calculus. Thermodynamics is a complex area, but most calculations are performed using process simulators. An understanding of the basics such as the 1st and 2nd laws, state properties such as entropy and enthalpy and the ability to conceptualise systems and set boundaries for calculations is essential. No one actually derives enthalpy or entropy values from scratch. When you work you’ll have to be able to do a few things very well: Heat and Material balances, fluid mechanics and equipment and instrument sizing and specification. That’s 90% of the field. Chemistry? You’ll do very very little of that. A knowledge of physical chemistry, basic stoichiometry and reaction kinetics is important but everything else is a waste of time.
