Hi I studied Diplom Verfahrenstechnik (equivalent to Bachelor plus Master Degree) in Germany. And I am happily working as a Process Engineer in Water treatment sector. In Germany, especially at Ohm University, they define Process Engineering as Study of Product conversion from raw to intermediate as well as finished product. Unit operations cover Mechanical, Chemical, Thermal abd Biological processes. Happy to share the info😊
@ChemicalEngineeringGuy Жыл бұрын
Nice... true, germans have this specific title "verfahrenstechnik" which is, as stated by you, more towards the conversion of raw materials, mainly chemicals, into final products... although there are some mechanical engineers as well in the field

I'm a process engineer from Vaal tech, there is a straight degree there for Electrical Engineering (Process control), where we focus from the first semester in technical instrumentation of all type of processes (chemical, production line, Pharmaceutical, beauty, petrochemical, automation, cybersecurity) we intervene in all aspects of any process as long as there a need of a output from an input system ..... For me the main difference btwn both of them is that chemical engineer master the product component depending on the field they are but process engineer are needed whenever there is a manufacturing industry, the master the components of the production process .

True, this is what I've noted from European countries, you may have Engineering degrees that adapt pretty well to industry needs, that is, the Process Engineer, Instrumentation Engineer, Automation/Control Engineer, etc...

I graduated this summer with a Bachelor’s in Chemical Engineering. I now work as a Maintenance Engineer in a small chemical plant and although it’s very early to form an opinion, I don’t think I want to work inside a plant. In the future I hope to be doing design work as a Chem Eng, it’s less risky from a safety angle. And imagine seeing a system or unit or reactor you’ve designed come to life; how exciting!

Good video, can be unnecessarily confusing. I’d add that on any project in our industries the scope and disciplines are usually divided into: process, mechanical, instrumentation, electrical (sometime E&I are one group), and civil. Nobody ever talks about the chemical scope of the project, or the people in charge of chemical - they say process scope/process people.

I agree with your explanation about differences between Chemical engineer and Process engineer, by the way, in my company, when people have to refer to chemical stuffs inside the production plant, never call me and my team as the chemical engineering team, but always as the "process" team, and we are not on the field, we are only in charge for the project of the plant, not the running. I think that's due to "ignorance" of operators and other engineering teams about this differece, let me know what you think about it! Ah, of course, great content as always Emmanuel!!

I'm not sure I agree with a lot of this. I'm a mechanical/production engineer. I've worked with both chemical and process engineers and generally process engineers design, implement and optimise chemical and biochemical processes, especially continuous flow ones on an industrial scale to turn raw materials such as oil, natural gas or milk (using heat, pressure or a chemical agent) into an end product (e.g. drugs, cosmetics, gasoline, beer, butter, etc.). And for that reason, process engineers are typically trained in chemical engineering. The engineers who optimsie discreet manufacturing i.e. machining, assembling, welding, riveting and glueing things that can be counted and itemised into a distinct product often on an assembly line. (Think car assembly - Telsa’s production line for its electric cars, engines, cell phones, computers, washing machines, TVs, airplanes, syringes, medical pumps, scalpels or pacemakers, etc) are manufacturing/production/industrial engineers. They are never called process engineers. Also, there are plenty of honour degree qualifications in process engineering.

Yes, in theory they could be... not recommended though as the industrial engineer do not have the formal training in sciences/engineering such as machines, equipment, materials, etc... Not only ChemE can be named process engineers, but also Mechanical, Electrical, Petroleum, Petrochemical, Polymer, Civil Engineering even... Im sorry to hear that you are not enjoying the industrial engineering studies... but work is kinda different from what you study so you may want to hang on into that!
