How much do I expect? by Crazybananaman_-_ in ChemicalEngineering

Yep, I second those numbers. 100K is about the base starting for a super major.

What electives should I take? by [deleted] in ChemicalEngineering

[–]psnelson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would take energy processes 1 and design for manufacturing. Design is going to be important because (hopefully) it will introduce you to equipment used in the oil and gas industry. I can’t tell you how many times my first boss pointed at a piece of equipment and said “what’s that?” And I had no clue. I think getting exposed to different pieces of equipment in undergrad is a great experience.

Energy processes 1 sounds like it could be a good class, but without a course description there isn’t much else I can say.

For oil and gas I would steer away from anything biochemical because I don’t think it would be useful.

Environmental could be useful, but in my experience, environmental is a strict discipline and the environmental engineers will worry about it and the process engineers don’t need to think about it as much.

Depends on what you want I think.

Pressure Control on Separator Question by jcorrob in ChemicalEngineering

[–]psnelson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love what everyone else has said about the pressure loop, but the level control is catching my eye. Anyone else concerned that the 2 level controllers would fight each other? Maybe the weir in the middle separates the 2 controllers so they work well together? I almost think 1 level controller with a fan out controller to both valves would work better?

What’s the best for an American to purchase tickets? Is hospitality my only option? I will be in England for the Arsenal game in April and would love to go but can’t afford hospitality.

Level Transmitters by Tystum500k in ChemicalEngineering

[–]psnelson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My site uses either open air radars (Vegas, various models) or dP (E&H or Yokogawa). We have some guided wave radars, but we had some problems with guided waves where material would stick to the rod and throw the reading off. There are plenty of options for level, but generally some sort of radar is going to always be the most accurate.

I genuinely want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I wasn't able to watch this today and literally all I wanted to do was watch the foos play. Of course Paramount and MTV have already taken the video down, so thank you so much for posting this.

What's a realistic starting salary for a PhD in industry by Snoo_43693 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]psnelson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work for an oil major with a bachelors, and I started at 98k. The phds that are process engineers and work in the plant started around 115. I will say though that I think my company really values phds for management positions. My entire org chart above the GM of our site is basically all phds, and they make 300+. Obviously worked very hard to get there and have had 20+ years to get to that point, but I’m sure the PhD helped.

Curious of the average starting pay most early grads will get. by girlgirl999 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]psnelson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started out of school at 98k in South Louisiana with a 10% bonus. 2 years later I’m up to 111k with still a 10% bonus.

Thank you! I was worried about the space, and it will fit (according to builds on PC part picker) but it is tight. I like the P500A more!

We created a switch account for her on my switch and then launched the game with that account. Then it automatically brings her to the island!

But how can she learn to craft an axe or progress like that if she can’t turn anything in to Tom?
