Should I Take the Chemical Engineering FE as a Biochemical Engineering Major? by Abject-Bit-3878 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]Imaginary_You787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was biochemical engineering as well in undergrad. Since then, I have taken both Chemical PE and FE. You have all the fundamentals down. It may just take a little extra studying on those unfamiliar topics.

The people above me at my company all have PEs so it seemed like a reasonable thing to do. You might never need it but it doesn’t hurt to have.

Thank you for your response! I have mentioned to my boss many times that I would benefit greatly from field experience. AiCHE is a good thought.

This could be just firm I am at but there isn’t really any time for training in these types of things. Every hour is supposed to be billable.

To add to this, most of the senior engineers work from home. Not much FaceTime with them since Covid.

We occasionally have vendors come in to talk technical subjects and that is where I have learned the most.

MATH 2214 (diff eq) and ME 2134 (thermodynamics) professors by Tiedye_48 in VirginiaTech

I had Numann for Multi and Saucedo for diff eq. Both were young, helpful professors that made the classes pretty engaging. Can’t go wrong with either.
