Chemical Engineers - current students thread

Hello fellow students :wink:

Why make a thread?
I am just beginning my first year of Chemical Engineering at Strathclyde, and already work in the oil, gas, and chemicals industries. Hopefully I can offer some advice to fellow students and learn a bit myself.

I am going to add some useful links to this thread, which will come in handy later on. Things like property data, lectures I have found, spreadsheets, etc.

Hopefully we can get some good discussion going and help each other with concepts and problems.

Thanks bro.

I did an apprenticeship and ended up in a lab where I work full-time. The experience helped me transfer to Strathclyde from my NatSci degree. :smile:

I'm applying for Chemical Engineering this week, so I'll just slide into this thread and post as if I were a chemical engineer :colone:

.
What universities do you people go to and with what grades did you apply with?

I start at Imperial in October. I applied to Bath, Cambridge, Imperial, Manchester and Newcastle. Where are you thinking of applying to?

Good man. Just been looking at my first problem sets. Some stuff makes sense and looks easy, but the second problem I looked at just confused the hell out of me. :redface:

I was going to troll you with the whole 'MechEngs are car mechanics' thing, but in the interests of good relations between the disciplines, I won't. :tongue:

Long time no speak! Anything you'd like added to the OP? I might update the wiki too, now I am actually a - wait for it - chemical engineer.

Good luck! I 'go to' Strathclyde but only for exams; it's mostly via distance learning. I had high 2:1s in a NatSci degree, which I was halfway through, plus an apprenticeship and industrial experience.

Thank you! Did you have your maths diagnostic test thingy?
