I am an incoming third year chemical engineering student and I have only attended eight months of face-to-face classes. The rest had been online sessions due to the pandemic and I've been in this kind of position where I'm afraid that I will graduate with no competence since I'm missing the opportunities to learn the skills I needed in my field that can only be learned face-to-face. Glad I came across your channel and this is exactly what I needed now. Thanks!

[@shawn.builds]

Yep, knowing how to do data analysis is incredibly helpful to make more decisions based off empirical data not emotions or analogies

[@smartxalex5719]

I think this is the most accurate video I've seen on the ol' KZbin. What I might add is that smaller companies and start-ups will expect you to act as a project manager. Additionally, if you're going to dive into DoE, make sure you're comfortable with statistics and hypothesis testing because, if you design an experiment, management will expect you to analyze the data and interpret results. The leading software in industry right now is the SAS institute's JMP software which, while pricey, can design your DoE for you and interpret the results, as well as effect-modeling. Finally, you should be pushing to achieve credentials in Six Sigma and Lean as soon as possible.

[@shawn.builds]

[@thomasmeadowcroft5421]

Very good, but I would add knowledge of process safety. Engineers in industry spend a great deal of their time working with process safety and the applicable regulations, PSM in the US. Also any experience you can get with P&IDs and the design of automated processes will give you a leg up. I worked for 25 years as a process engineer, process designer and process control engineer before joining a university to teach ChE.

[@shawn.builds]

Thank you very much for your insight! Apart from learning process safety through work experience, how else can students learn process safety (directly/indirectly)?

[@Tommeadowcroft]

@@shawn.builds That's a difficult one. I teach a Process Safety course at Rowan U (Glassboro, NJ) which is a required course for seniors, but it wasn't required until 2020; process safety is mostly included briefly in capstone design courses. I've had students comment that their knowledge of process safety has helped them in job interviews, so I'm confident it's a good addition to the senior year. There is a push from ABET (American accreditation board for engineers) to have more process safety in ChE curricula, but change is slow. There's a shortage of professors who feel comfortable teaching courses in engineering practice, because most have no experience practicing engineering. I'm trying to encourage more teaching of engineering practice (I also teach a design course in Process Control and Automation, not your standard Laplace analysis course), and I'm starting a web page to facilitate that this summer, ChemicalEngineeringPractice.org, but it's not live yet. Eventually there will be tools to learn more there, and templates for those who want to adapt my courses for their schools. But that's going to take some time. For now you can take some AIChE courses on process safety online (they're a bit dull), www.aiche.org. I highly recommend the US Chemical Safety Board videos kzbin.info. I use a dozen of them for case study discussions in my course. Chemical Process Safety by Crowl and Louvar is a good book, and I think there are illegal pdf copies of it out there if you don't want to pay for it.

Thanks bro!

[@maskra2071]

If you want to be a successful engineer, you need to go to the field and familiarize yourself with the actual processes and operations. While drawings and models may look flawless, they don't hold much value if they are not practical or safe for real-world implementation. I've witnessed numerous design issues arise because the engineer of record (EOR) failed to properly verify the field conditions, resulting in costly and time-consuming fixes. surround yourself with experienced individuals, such as operators, technicians. Don't be afraid to ask questions or even make mistakes - the initial learning curve may feel overwhelming, but it's through these experiences that you'll truly gain the knowledge and expertise.

My engineering school don't teach on the program aspen🤦🏻‍♀️ so I don't know what to do

any process modelling software works

Server error Pop-Up when I clicked DWAIN link. Why?

[@Yeasassss]

Can we use ipad air for softwares such as matlab and aspen

[@shawn.builds]

not aspen, maybe matlab. check the software requirements on their website

[@paoboonjinnz]

It is sad that in my country people misunderstood chemical engineering a lot. Like they think we are chemists and not related to production at all. They also require AutoCad skill instead of Aspen which I don't know why. I graduated from USA and still unemployed in Thailand for almost a year now.

[@shawn.builds]

you should look for work in the US!

Did u find a job?

Is aspen for free? Also I have a question: can petroleum engineers work in a oil refinery?

[@shawn.builds]

aspen is not free, but students usually learn it at school in process flowsheeeting.

[@shawn.builds]

petroleum engineers should be able to work in refineries haha

Ye I was about to say aspen plus is a couple thousand dollar license and if your university doesnt have it then you are kinda fucked lmao

Hi, i wanna ask you about using DWSIM for process modeling in mac. Is it worth to use DWSIM instead of use Aspen HYSYS? Is there any difference between those two? I think i dont want to use parallel to windows bcs it isnt free, could you recommend another tools to use Aspen in mac? I’m sorry for giving too many question

[@shawn.builds]

aspen is the industry standard, but its not free. so use aspen or prosim or something similar if you have it available from school

[@holytrixx6461]

Hi, great video btw! I’d like to know if running Windows on Parallels for the Mac Pro M1 (16GB RAM) would be sufficient for me as a Chemical Engineering student to run these softwares (Aspen Hysys, Ansys, etc)? I assume that you used or are still using the MacBook. Could you please tell me your experience with this and would u recommend me using the Mac M1 with the 16GB RAM as I’m currently looking for a new laptop. Does Matlab run well on a Mac too? Thanks

[@shawn.builds]

My friends ran Windows on parallels using even older Macbooks so you should be fine if they are just student flowsheets. I have the 2018 macbook so it's not M1. And yes, according to Google, matlab should run on macs just fine. Matlab has pretty low PC requirements
