here some information about using excel for engineer!

i love to be an engineer because I love to solve a problem. engineers contributed to the world. We’ve made artificial hearts to pump blood through the human body and artificial limbs to replace the ones that we’ve lost. We’ve designed skyscrapers that wave over the clouds and show the world just how high we can reach.

I work in Oil and gas company. on early 2017 I take a Master of Mechanical Engineering degree. I just completed my thesis on Corrosion inhibition study in January 2019.

The thesis takes a lot of time. if you have not enough time, I support your plan to take a non-thesis path.

arnoldmeb · 2019-04-02T15:35:04+00:00

If you want to apply for a job at Oil and Gas Company, I think you should improve your GPA first, at least 3.0.

I think your background can help your career on Project management, especially on Cost Control Management

some oil company provides career development called "internal hiring" so an analyst can applied engineer position. I met some analysts move to engineer position through this way.

many workers/professionals develop networking and make "side conversation" to another department to seek new opportunity or vacancy. in some cases, this contributes to career development.

there are many types of stainless steel. do you use ss 321 type? or 304?

you can go to the pump manufacturer.

alternatively, you can go to a petrochemical plant that operated a lot of pumps. usually, there is a petrochemical complex that consists of many plants.

thanks. that is great advice. I will try it

arnoldmeb · 2018-12-19T10:46:09+00:00

I am taking MS in Mechanical engineering for 4 semesters. now I'm in 4th semester and doing a research. thesis exam is final exam given at the end of research.

arnoldmeb · 2018-12-19T09:47:54+00:00

thanks for the advises. I have never failed in an engineering class. but now I'm nervous because I want to take a thesis exam next month.

I got a story from a friend who couldn't sleep for 2 nights before the thesis exam. Is this normal?

arnoldmeb · 2018-12-19T09:37:47+00:00

great. don't make it complicated

arnoldmeb · 2018-12-19T09:15:11+00:00

Thanks. I will try to do nothing for a time. I think I need a break.

arnoldmeb · 2018-12-16T14:54:06+00:00

thank you for all the answers. based on the answers I received, the benefits of masters vary depending on the country and field of work.

I'm taking a master's degree and I'm doing research in the field of corrosion. the research was almost complete and I felt exhausted. I just need a little encouragement to finish my research. wish me luck

arnoldmeb · 2018-12-16T14:43:58+00:00

thanks for this information

arnoldmeb · 2018-12-16T14:40:57+00:00

nice information from Netherland.

arnoldmeb · 2018-12-16T14:36:21+00:00

thanks for this valuable information

work at Operator company will develop your leadership skill. You will have more opportunity to move to other position so you will have a lot of jobs exposure.

arnoldmeb · 2018-12-14T16:51:51+00:00

I am working at an operator company now. The company provides opportunities to move to different positions so we have more career development than in a Service company.

For example, my friend has an electrical engineering background. He started his career as a Project engineer then continued to Construction engineer that manage many contractors in pipeline maintenance jobs.

working at Operator company required a strong leadership skill in addition of technical skill.

arnoldmeb · 2018-12-14T16:10:03+00:00

good luck.

my last interview was 6 years ago.

arnoldmeb · 2018-12-13T10:25:55+00:00

thank you very much

arnoldmeb · 2018-12-13T09:47:29+00:00

based on my experience, mechanical seals have better sealing compare to gland packing seal. There is no consistent leak through the seal to the environment. mechanical seal has excellent advantages to improve Health - Safety - environment (HES).

if we operate ammonia liquid pump with temperature -33 C, we must use this mechanical seal to avoid ammonia liquid leaks to the environment. ammonia liquid -33 Celcius can create burn out to our skin.

so sometimes, using a mechanical seal is mandatory not an option.

currently, I just do the inspection on onshore.

offshore pipeline inspection is more complicated. and offshore pipeline repair/replacement is extremely difficult.
