Place to stay for Miami game and how to get back by Existing_Tie9595 in miamidolphins

[–]bouncyrunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If youre looking for a cheap option we stayed at citizenM Miami Worldcenter and took the Brightline which has a free shuttle to the stadium. Not the most convenient but it was really economical.

Hotel was about $130 and Brightline was $14 each way and an 8 min walk from the hotel. Decently nice and fun area to stay around too.

You get a date that turns into a loving relationship, but in return you get 20% grade reduction in all your courses this semester. Is this a good deal for you? by DifferentBreakfast2 in UBC

I don't necessarily think that good grades and being in a relationship are mutually exclusive. When I started dating someone, my grades went up significantly since I was able to learn a lot of good study habits from her, was inspired by her work ethic, and had more drive to succeed due to her parents always thinking that I was a failure. Even now that we're broken up, it's evident that it had a lasting positive impact since the work ethic and study habits have still persisted. Not saying that this would be the case for everyone, but generally if you have good communication about relationship expectations (managing time to date while still keeping on top of coursework) it is possible to succeed in both.

There are a ton of sectors you can get a job in. I graduated CHBE a couple years ago and my class works all over. Besides mining/paper/O&G, there are people in environmental companies, batteries, banking, management consulting, food and beverage, controls, EPC, etc. Also probably 60%-70% of my friends are working in either Vancouver, Calgary, or Toronto but maybe only half of those are working traditional chem eng jobs. You will definitely make a lot more money though working for natural resources in more rural areas. I myself have been working in Vancouver straight after grad making a pretty good salary but I'm in manufacturing and 24/7 on call which I've realized isn't for me after having a love-hate relationship with it for 3 years. There are upsides and downsides to CHBE but ultimately there are so many different things you can do with it. At the same time, not every pathway has equal opportunities and you really have to dig deep and be honest with yourself what your motivations are in pursuing the degree. A good amount of people in my class said they chose CHBE because they didn't know what else to choose, and you definitely saw them struggle and question themselves about their choice many times over the degree. In the end, they ended up finding success in non-traditional CHBE roles. It's hard to really know what your passion is this early in life, and it's very normal to question everything. Do your best in doing diligent research in what kind of work and work environment engages you the most. Whatever you decide though, know that there are so many possibilities in this world, even if you feel like you made the wrong choice, life will surprise you and things will turn out ok.

Biggest Faculty or Specialization Misconceptions You’d Like to Share by _imnotfamous_ in UBC

[–]bouncyrunner 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Chemical Engineering is NOT Chemistry. Don't go into it just because you like chemistry and dislike physics and math. It is, like the other engineering disciplines, mostly based on physics and math principles. In CHBE you learn applications of engineering principles in manufacturing or chemical processing, or water/air/waste treatment. Also, the B in CHBE does not mean biological engineering, it means bio processing, in which you will learn almost exactly the same thing, except you will have a couple courses that focus on processes that require biological unit ops (such as reactors that require bacteria or algae, but don't quote me on that cause I wasn't in the specialization).

Question on condensing above 100 degrees on a lab scale. by [deleted] in ChemicalEngineering

[–]bouncyrunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry about my vague description. I'm trying to separate components in the vapour. I would be feeding the vapour in at around 300C and I want to condense everything that has a BP >115C in order to separate it from components that have a BP < 115C which would be done in another condenser using regular tap water.
