Stanford has done a great thing in bringing a pioneering professor full of wisdom ,humility and fun to listen to introduce with telling facts about what is chemical engineering instead of a young and inexperience TA.

Had a great professor like this my first semester at University of Florida. Dr Gerald Westermann-Clark. Was a fantastic educator and we were fortunate to have him as our first experience in solving chemical engineering problems.

From the book "Bad Blood" by John Carreyrou Channing Robertson “maintained that (Elizabeth ) Holmes was a once-in-a-generation genius, comparing her to Newton, Einstein, Mozart, and Leonardo da Vinci.”

Down to earth Professor! Not even my major but had my full attention.

It sounds like Professor Robertson is very serious about chemical engineering being a "rough course," as I know it was for even some of THE most capable people in the College of Engineering at my own state school alma mater. But here is the thing that impressed me: he said that probably at least SOME of the TA's did NOT pass his course the first time around, so they just dug right in and took it again and DID pass it! I really admire such persistence. We NEED that in the fields Stanford has!

I don't get why just few people has the privilege in this vast world, of receiving such a wonderful lectures ...

I am, for so many years back, an industrial chemistry graduate, that is quite similar or even more profound in chemical processing than the chemicalE course. I found this introductory lecture very good and informative. I also found the courses very similar to each other. I may conclude that ChE will be an IndCh course plus some design courses. what would u say?

I just finished my junior year of chem'e and argh! For my transport phenomena class: open book tests, 5 hours to finish them... and still nobody would get a grade higher than a 90 I mean, there's a reason why they have such high salaries, it's a lot of work as a student

@@teukurhazes3254 If you're solely doing it for the salary, then I'd suggest you switch majors, as the courses can be quite challenging. If you do well, I had friends who went straight into industry with starting salaries between 50,000 to 80,000 and they are all doing very well. No one from my class struggled to get employment after graduation. Chem'E can also open doors to pursue a PhD, med school, or law school; and the courses overlap with other science majors, so you can easily do a double major in chemistry or physics, or completely switch to those majors early on. Hope that helps! I went on to pursue a PhD in materials science and now work as a research scientist for a chemicals company.
