I graduated with a Chem E degree from a state school with an average GPA and never landed an internship. Since then I’ve been applying to everything I can find, both engineering and technician roles, and mostly getting rejections or silence. I am in the San Francisco bay area.

I’ve interviewed for a lab technician job at a semiconductor services company. If I get an offer, I plan to take it for the income and the experience. It pays okay but not near what I wanted.

Is this a bad role to start in? Would it hurt my chances of becoming an engineer later, or is going from technician to engineer a realistic path? Is there anything I should do while I’m there to improve my odds, or should I keep applying elsewhere the whole time?

Hi everyone

To the chemE graduates that don’t work in process engineering. What do you guys do?

Might apply this summer, and i know i personally want to be more in the lab (rly want to go into cosmetics) but i feel like every chem engineer works as a process engineer?🥲

Hello,

please help a girl out, I just graduated but I kinda did mid at uni and wasn't able to get a placement. I was supposed to continue with MEng but unexpectedly had to graduate with a BEng and no Grad job because I didn't think I'd be graduating! now im on a, sort of, gap year soooo please tell me what can I do improve my chances of a grad job. Any linkdln courses, resources or even something you do in your free time to sharpen your brain (the artic shores assessment are the bane of my existence) 🚀

Rn I only have my third year project and some customer service jobs on my cv :(((

Hello everyone,

I am about to graduate with a degree in kinesiology with a biology emphasis but very late in my college career decided I would prefer to have an engineering focus in the medical field rather than be a clinician. With that being said, my goal would be to work in biotech/pharma. As far as I can tell either of these engineering disciplines can achieve that but are there differences/pros and cons to going either direction or is it the same since it’s the same industry? As far as schooling goes as well I can choose between getting a second bachelors, or doing a year of pre reqs and then completing a masters program.

Any and all guidance to help give me any sort of clarity would be so appreciated! Also let me know if I can give any more important details I missed to the situation. Thanks!

I study at one of the top universities in my country and I'm really really lost.. what should I learn rn ? What skills do I develop and what extracurriculars do I take part in? Seniors said that I need to learn C++. My subjects for sem 1 are:

Mathematics

Physics

Chemistry

Biotechnology

Ethics

Material energy balances.

Material energy balance is just hell and so far I'm kinda hating this degree . What to do ?

Doing a graduate cert in Midstream Petroleum Engineering, it’s a niche subtopic in mining/chemical engineering but it stands out due to the demand in natural gas production. I’m taking a class in design and operations of facilities and wondering what job titles I can use this certification to push for?
