im interested in it and would like to hear some first hand experience of what you are going to study in the course smile.gif

1st hand "EXPERIENCE'' of what what have been STUDIED???? maybe you should ask more about 1st hand experience of chemical engineers at work like what different engineers in different industry typically do? do they go offshore? what's they do everyday in chemical processing plant? what kind of industry required chemical engineers? Do they design reactor? do they study chemical reaction? or both? and how does chemical engineering different from pure chemistry and what's the difference with industrial chemistry?...that would be more interesting besides frm merely knowing what's the syllabus of bachelors in chemical engineering.

yeap. those are actually the questions in my minds tongue.gif thx for sharing though. any answers for that?

From what i know. Most of them end up in O&G industry that works offshore mostly oil rig...

Perhaps the most popular industry among Chemical Engineers is Oil and Gas..I'm not sure with the upstream industry (drilling, exploration and etc), in the downstream industry (petroleum refinery, petro-chemical product production) there are more requirement for chemical engineers, besides oil and gas, chem engineers can also go to food industries, chemical production plant, bio chemicals, waste management, some of chem eng graduate involve the design of chemical production plant system like process flow, piping system, pumping, chemical reactor, and system for other process like evaporation, distillation and extraction etc etc..

As a chemical engineer, you can also take part in research position especially in advance material development, nanotech and etc. But, this research mostly still under nanotechnology, material engineering and chemistry. maybe Chemical engineers might concentrate more on the production.

Chemical engineers' demand is increasing with the growing trend of industry. So, if u think of chemical reaction in large scale production point of view, like to think of the process method of the series of reaction, Chemical engineering's right for u.

I'd suggest you to do more homework on what's the difference between chemist and chemical engineers. biggrin.gif

thx ahguan. Now this is the question that different ppl giving me different answers rclxub.gif

I assume you're studying/finished chemical engineering. Which subject the course focus more? Chemistry? Physics? Maths? Economy? Throughout the whole degree, normally what are the tough "obstacles" that we're are ought to overcome?

tat is obvious. how bout stuff like specific tough subject and project? Like design a plant? Memorizing chemicals? I dont know..

tats y i like chemical engineering. its very versatile and makes u a very capable person

Hey  there, I need some help here. I was actually quite interested in aeronautical engineering. Should i go for pure mechanical for undergraduates program 1st only then specialized it. If i really do, how long would it to graduates from undergraduates? If comparing to specialized in aeronautical during undergraduates program, as what offered by UTM.

i duno much bout it but if u wan the fastest degree. it would be ADP. i personally is taking tat pathway too. u can do ur major in US which is better than doin it locally?
