Day In The Life Of A Chemical Engineer (Process Engineer) | What Do Chemical Engineers Do?
Hello World!
Today I'm going to take you through a typical day in the life of a chemical engineer in a process engineering role and explain what exactly a process engineer does. I'll go over the types of tasks that a chemical engineer/process engineer does on a day to day basis. I hope you enjoy this video and subscribe if you want to see more videos like this one.

Yesss this is the kinda day in the life I’ve been wanting!! Thanks!
I love how you organized this one - super easy to follow along with all the examples, and the "bigger picture" time scale is something that I don't think any other youtube video has touched on yet. Some projects take years to implement!

Thanks man! I'm glad it was easy to follow, there's always so much that can happen on any given day so it's difficult to explain
So great to find another day in the life video. ChemEs should definitely do more of these.
i cannot express how thankful i am for this content! thanks!
Amazing insights! As someone who was working in operations but is now going into a process engineering role, it’s really cool to learn the slight difference and focus areas between ops and engineering! Well done on the amazing content!!
This video got me pumped to become a Process Engineer one day, thank you for the motivation to work hard during my Chemical Engineering degree!

I'm a 3rd year chemical engineering here in the Philippines. Thank you for this informative video sir!
You have been pumping out tons of quality content, and I just wanted to thank you for that! As someone who is going to be studying chemical engineering, I'm glad to see that there are some KZreadrs who talk about it more and more.

Thanks! Glad it's helpful. Yeah I remember looking up chemical engineering on youtube when I was in school and there was hardly anything on here back then. Happy to see the community is growing!
Such an informative video! I've been planning on going into chemical engineering but was never really sure if I'd actually enjoy what they do because I was never really sure _what_ they did... thanks to this video, I have a much better idea of what chemical engineering looks like and whether or not I'd like it.
Wow bro, your video is super helpful. Literally you resolve all my doubts. Thank you
It would be great if you explain all of these practically through an industrial visit
Love the coffee intro , graphics, Excellent editing. 👍
really nice work! thankss bro
Nice cat cameo around 5:05! I appreciated your approach and explanation for the day in the life prompt. Thanks for another informative chemical engineering video! Keep em coming please!

Great content as usual, thanks for all the effort! Maybe you could make a video on some tools you consider useful as a ChemE student or even professional.
Quality content.
Thank you for your videos. I'm a chemical engineer, but I'm not in industry right now. I'm doing my master's, but this type of video makes me think about to work in industry. 🇧🇷

Hello mam 👋😄how is ur study going? Or you doing any job? I'm at my final year and i will graduate after 2 month so according to ur experienced what u think doing job is better after degree Or doing master is better after degree? If we talk about job then which one is better like production or process or RND? Please reply me if you see my comment ☺

I'm currently a sophomore in high school and I'll be graduating next year as a junior. I'm hoping to major in chemical engineering in college and I appreciate how informative this video was. Chemical engineering sounds like a solid path for me and I brace myself for the hard work to come in college.

Its definitely hard in workload and it can be intense conceptually. depending on the industry, u wont use everything u learn in college except u need to have a good understanding of transport phenomenon, PFDs, P&IDs, cost analysis, and excel. This major is predominantly all about pipes and reactors at the end of the day😅

If you really like it then go for it. If you're in it for the money i say to cs/it stuff. Either way, you must be good at maths.
I want to be a process engineer too! And more know that i have listened to you. I hope that i find the job

Congrats for one more awesome video about the beauty of Chemical Engineering. It's a quite comprehensive explanation of the Process Engineer role and provides a great overview of the position. Well done! I have worked many years in Production and Process positions and Process Engineering is where my heart belongs. I also see similarities as Sherlock Homes... hahaha!! Besides the long term approach, I missed essential aspects that really differentiate the Process Engineer from the Production/Operations Engineer such as optimization and process simulation. The ability to perform process simulations is key for any skilled Process Engineer, I often used commercial simulators - I would say at least every week.

Yeah process engineering is a lot of fun! I think that the process modeling, simulations, and calculations are easily the best part of the job.
I appreciate the effort you put into these videos. The quality of the content has been great and relatable, especially for chemical engineering students/professionals. Keep it up! I'm sure a lot of people will benefit from this. 🙌🏻

Thank you for your videos! I appreciate your information. I have a couple of questions, please. What master programs do you suggest taking in the US to specialize in Process Engineer? What courses should these masters have to pursue a Process Engineer path? My questions are because there are many master programs with different names and courses. Thank you again for your support.
Hey man, really like your channel. Btw, a question for you, is there any jobs for chem eng graduates who love fast paced environment and hates typical mundane 9 to 5 job ?

He seems to be describing a support role. I was under impressions with chemical engineering degree, I could start as operation supervisor at an oil/gas refinery and work my way up to Site Manager of the refinery…or are those roles reserved more for business majors?

I am currently a masters student in chemical engineering. I have to apply for a graduate job. But I wonder if the job isn’t boring. Like revising every day the same process
I’m 21 and looking to get back into college. I’ve looked into my options and being a chemical engineer interests me a lot. I’ve done some research and I’ve seen you need a chemical engineer major to get into this, but I’ve also seen you only need a chemistry degree to become one. Which is it?

Chemical engineering is waaaaaay different from chemistry
How difficult is it to make the switch from chemistry to chemE? I'm in my junior year as a chem major and I plan on applying to master's programs in chemE

You probably shouldn't do this. You should be lacking all of the engineering parts of the bachelor like machine building, thermodynamics, hydrodynamics, mechanical process engineering.
Hi eggs. How hard would you say it is getting a job as a chemical engineer when you're fresh out of college under normal circumstances (no covid)?
@EggsEngineering

It really depends on a lot of different things, I'd say that if you can lock down an internship they finding a job is not that hard.
Just joined chem E for bachelors,want to do research in this field hope i can make some door for me .
did you take you professional exams already?
What is salary?
There are many lecture videos about chemistry/chemical engineering majors on my KZread channel. I hope it helps you a lot in studying.

Please help me. I'm planning on studying Chemical Engineering, but to be honest I don't like chemistry; I mean, I think it's pretty interesting but I don't love it. I do love math and physics and the idea of working with something that has to do with industrial process (designing things like phones is not my shit). That's why after searching I decided to study ChemicalE. What should I do?

Have you considered industrial engineering? From what I understand they cover a lot of areas; mechanical, electrical, software, and most likely some chemical engineering, but not full on chemistry.

Im starting to feel that chemical engineering would be a waste of my potential. This sounds way too trival for me. Thats disapointing.
