What does a Chem. Eng. degree not prepare you for?

One learns about a lot of different topics when studying engineering. What are some of the things that studying for a Chemical Engineering degree at university doesn't prepare you for when you work in the chemical and process industries?

00:00 Intro
00:33 The amount of piping
05:23 Mass & energy don't balance
10:02 Dealing with "that" operator
13:56 Being able to make a call

Process with Pat is the place to come for perspective and to ask stupid questions. I want you to leave more knowledgeable, confident, motivated, and most importantly, curious. I also want to invigorate a field that seems tired and uninspiring, at least if you get your perspective from internet forums. These are not lectures. This is a place for you to leave thinking “Oh! That’s why...”

This channel is not only for chemical engineers - anyone who works with processes should be able to find something of value here.

As a Chem E with 35 years experience, your comments are spot on.

"Enjoy your mass and energy while they still balance, " love it 🤣.

Thank you so much for your videos. Great insight for me ^_^

[Checkmate_Bro]

Thank you, Pat. I really needed to hear that as a new engineer.

[hirammogs]

Hey Pat do you have any suggestions on a book that you could recommend for piping systems and pumps

[ChemEngWeekly]

Very interesting to hear about your experiences Pat, and an excellent video once again! 👍 👍

[bilalmetu]

thats fucking perfect.HAHAHAHA
thank you men

Interesting. Regarding different types of Pipes criss-cross the plant I would like to add the sheer number of drain lines required. open drain, closed drain, hydrocarbon drain, amine drain etc. etc.

I always had this though "management designs and plans for the engineer, engineer sorts out the management's plans, engineer gets all the blame for what they did and management all the praise"
I want to design my own process but I am just an engineer (aka I have no money) so I can't do anything yet.

Application and politics. Exergy analysis has become popular recently, for example, and never really understood it until I had a practical context.

So spot on 😂, We have all been there!

hi pat.
can a mechanical engineering graduate do ms in process engineering?
will he be able to work as a process engineer?
