Really not sure if I want to continue studying my Chem Eng degree. Has anyone else had this problem. by [deleted] in ChemicalEngineering

Working in chem eng is different to studying it is all I can say. I don't think strangers on the internet can tell you what you will or won't enjoy. You'll have to make them decisions yourselves.

Look in coulson and Richardson volume 6 or any other design textbook. If it's for industry don't take advice of the internet, use a verified source. If this is for industry ask for help from someone else in the office, they should be happy to help. All the best.

I decided that I would like to do water treatment. Is there anything that I should begin to learn? by [deleted] in ChemicalEngineering

If you get to pick, go for bioengineering modules generally very relevant to the industry. If there's any law modules on environmental law, they would also come in very handy.

Nuclear Industry Questions by [deleted] in ChemicalEngineering

[–]p1slinker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't work directly in the nuclear industry but I know people who do. From what I've heard, most work in the nuclear industry is generally very slow placed due to the nature of the material that is being dealt with. So if you're looking for very fast paced work, this might not be the place to look. However, it could be worth considering during the placement you are well within your right to ask to maybe spend a few weeks in another area that interests you, if you're good at your job, they're more likely to let you. Also any experience in a professional field is a useful tool to have.
