If you’re looking for versatility, chemical engineering is not the best. Go for mechanical/electrical/industrial engineering. Chemical engineering is actually supposed to be a specialized type of engineering which means you get to do specific things that other engineering can’t do. So since there’s not much jobs out there for chemical engineering graduates to use and maximize their knowledge, I don’t think it’s worth pursuing unless you are really really passionate and have long dreamt of becoming a chemical engineer.

I'm glad to see the chem eng community has found this space to share experiences!

Hi there, Carlos here from Ecuador. I'm a Colombian Chemical Engineer, graduated back in 2015 when the oil shares fall down; yes that was an ugly start. After THREE years struggling to get a job i finally landed here in Ecuador working for a private company doing EPC + precom-com + startup projects for oil&gas production facilities. I have to admit that the learning path have been exciting, this industry gives you a lot to learn. Now, considering all the points you said on this awesome video i agree the job market is hell, almost all the time i got rejected inmediatly although i have 4 years of exprience. Job promotions, never happening, you get stuck as process engineer. Too many varied degrees, absolutely, there is a ton of new and state of the art degrees that attract the attention of the students who are graduating from school. Computer science, i loved that you have touched this topic, personally i learned to programm by myself, i find very exciting to build your own projects right away on my pc and get experience, this experiences eventually could land me in a role as software engineer. Quite the opposite for ChemEngs, we can simulate whole plants in Hysys and we could become experts in simulations...but believe me, starting a whole plant is far from simulating it and it demands a lot of specific experience, and if you pretend to apply for a plant startup job, companies would not take your simulation experience in account, sorry. Good vibes: yes, we can iterate and become an engineer in a fiel-related environment, in my case o'm heavily convinced that software development could be a good compliment ( www.carlos-pinzon.com), each one have right to decide. Good luck to everyone and thank you for this video. PD: You could search for chemical engineer job postings and make comments, could be a good experiences for all of us, cheers.

There were many indications in the industry, back as far as the 1970's, that the chemical engineering discipline was interested in broadening its usual scope. I think this started in Universities, where bioengineering, biomedical engineering, biochemical engineering became linked to chemical engineering. I think the reason was that innovation in the classical fields of ChE was waning. Not much really new going on in petrochemical, plastics, or refinery plants. Also, there is competition now for STEM students to enter sexier fields, like computer science, programming, new electronic devices, etc.

Have you ever heard about the IME in Brazil ? it's a militar institute of engineering, that also offers chemical Engineering as a course of graduation, this course focuses more on the military area than chemical industries, but even so you are able to work in chemical industries with this formation. The selective process to join within the IME is widely known in Brazil as one of the hardest entrance exams, into a graduation course (but this is not any graduation course, is one of the best courses possible in Brazil, of course). But even for those Engineers who are from IME, great part of them will have to compete publicly in the job market, as well.

Good points. I love chemical engineering. And I will add that while there are certainly jobs available for environmental engineering, many environmental engineering programs seem less rigorous than chemical engineering in theory. As a result I would say if you truly want to innovate in the energy and chemical sector to solve many of the environmental problems we face today, chemical engineering is the way to go. Because to solve many of those problems, it takes one to know a lot of advanced thermodynamics, kinetics, and transport which is the basis of ChemE.

Well... truth be told, it is hard, you need to be good at math and physics... If you are ok with that, then go for it... its just all about paying extra attention and doing the hard work (study)

Even if you major in computer science or medical field. You will suffer to find a job easily. It is all about the luck and networking.

@ChemicalEngineeringGuy

thats a good one! Overall --> chemical engineering is about converting raw materials and stuff into valuable products for society.... Petrochemicals are much more into a niche application of that, they are working with products from oil and gas alone (which are a lot, make no worries!)

Chemical engineering is great for nanotechnology and I am 99.9% certain the rate of investment into nanoscience will rapidly increase. Plenty of jobs for chemeng the more research I do, like materials science in the superconductor/electronics industry. And speaking of comp sci, im thinking adding that as a minor to chemeng.

I don’t think it is getting less popular. What I think is that schools need to somehow reinvent the program, so it is more suitable for the modern days. I am a junior, graduating next year, and I love the chemical engineering program. The applications are pretty much everywhere. Three years ago the department changed some classes and added some more, we take computer programming, computational statistics, and environmental classes as well. We have three different paths “ Bioengineering, renewable energy, and processes “. And the salaries are higher compared to other branches of engineering. Well, maybe I should mention that I am at one of the best schools for engineering in Silicon Valley, so the program it’s been adapted to land you a job in companies that are here in the Bay Area. Google, Apple, GenTech, and many more. And remember guys, it is not about what you know, it is about how you applied it and how well you do it. Don’t work hard, work smart.

As a process engineer in China, one thing I can say is that chemical engineer is one of the four least atttactive jobs in the market, rest are material science, environmental engineering, biology related stuff. These four require high amount of input (mostly overtime works), but offer low paycheck and limited career development. The main reason I think is we dont have much hot money in this field, compared to those internet companies, because most chemical companies are oligopoly, only they have capability to take very long ROI. So somehow the market is inactive (low competition), and from my observation we dont have that much of innovation in engineering technology, my company even used the technology from 80s, they dont risk that much in innovation.
