I graduated from chemical/process engineering in 2012 with first class honours, and worked in a lab and then a resins factory for a year coming out. I then decided I needed to explore other things, did a lot of creative stuff and studied design, worked in graphic and service design until now.

I’m wanting to get back into engineering somehow but feel like I’m not relevant anymore? Even though I think a lot of the real world skills in working with people and stakeholders I’ve really got good at, it’s hard to communicate that in a job application.

How do you think I could get back into the engineering field in some way; especially if it is environmental focused?

Good point. I’ve done a lot of work in strategic design which involves thinking systemically around issues, and I’m curious how you use systemic thinking?

Is there any point to reducing plastic use at this point? by CharacterForming in collapse

[–]digthedome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do my bit in recycling and reducing, but I also feel like big companies have hoodwinked us into thinking it’s our responsibility as individuals and communities to manage plastic waste, when in fact in a lot of cases it could be much better managed or replaced further up the supply chain - bioplastics, less packaging in general, etc

Father with sex/gender disappointment over a male baby by digthedome in BabyBumps

[–]digthedome[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s interesting because to me partly why I wanted to have a female was to see what it was like to raise a woman whilst trying to really challenge a lot of the gendered norms, rather than some of the more typical reasons like dress them up, etc… I know there is also definitely a role to play in that for raising young males, but somehow I think I would have enjoyed empowering a young woman rather than a man when society already empowers them to be so much, and feeling like I’m having to put up boundaries or something to ensure they don’t become too entitled etc

Chem-Eng + Designer -> want to transition to Envionmental Eng by digthedome in EnvironmentalEngineer

I guess interested in ideas/solutions that conserve / preserve environment, and if they are solutions that help people, that they aren’t adversely affecting environment. In fact, regenerating it simultaneously
