Graduation – Only the First Step
◊ Basics of Chemical Engineering haven’t changed much over the years
◊ Laws of Thermodynamics, Flow and Energy
◊ Most Chemical Engineers would recognize the theory
◊ So why isn’t a degree a lifetime guarantee?????
Because Other Things Do Change!

Learning A Career
◊ Selecting a Path• Job Search vs. Career Selection
◊ Imprinting• Jargon ( bbls, GOR, WOR, VOC)• Industry Quirks• Tools, Processes and Work Methods
◊ These are not found in any book• Once Started down a path Tough to Change • “Non-threatening” Mentoring and Networking
Required
![Page 5: Chemical Engineering Education After Graduation Bruce R. Peachey, P.Eng. MCIC.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4a5503460f94b3ed9f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Life Skills 101
◊ The “non-technical” stuff not in the curriculum• Pension Plans & RRSP’s• Health Benefits & Insurance• Marriage & Kids• Mortgages & Financial Planning
◊ Not specific to Chemical Engineering but needs can’t be ignored!
◊ Networking with your peers and family needed as well as developing understanding of needs
![Page 6: Chemical Engineering Education After Graduation Bruce R. Peachey, P.Eng. MCIC.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4a5503460f94b3ed9f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Technology Advances - Tools
◊ Tools changing much faster than theory• Hand calculations & Slide rules• Hand Calculators & Mainframes• P.C.’s & Interactive Simulation• Virtual Plants• ???????
◊ Keeping up to date with new tools needed to stay current.
• Anytime, anywhere access to tools required for skill development and maintenance

Technology Advances – Knowledge
◊ “Perry’s Handbook” hasn’t kept up with the changes• Professionals must be able to stay close to advances to
keep their employers happy
◊ Internet and technology transfer from others are key sources of knowledge
• Professionals must access the knowledge and be willing to share in return
◊ Knowledge growth requires networking and opportunities for interaction outside “the office”
![Page 8: Chemical Engineering Education After Graduation Bruce R. Peachey, P.Eng. MCIC.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4a5503460f94b3ed9f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Changing Processes
◊ Rapid development of new and global demands• First in gets the market
◊ Flexibility in processes• Designer/specialty products• Changes in specifications• Product switching
◊ Requires information on trends and early warning on potential changes
• Global analysis and interpretation
![Page 9: Chemical Engineering Education After Graduation Bruce R. Peachey, P.Eng. MCIC.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4a5503460f94b3ed9f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Expansion of Process Control
◊ Process Control moving into new industries• Require new algorithms/unique solutions• Economics built into control
◊ New needs lead to new end devices• Bitumen in sand measurement• Weighing potato chips
◊ Requires broad exposure to ideas, inventions and information on physical properties
![Page 10: Chemical Engineering Education After Graduation Bruce R. Peachey, P.Eng. MCIC.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4a5503460f94b3ed9f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Operational Challenges
◊ Continual need to improve• Profitability• Safety• Employee health• Environmental health• Engineering no longer limited to the “hardware” of a plant
◊ Requires tools for assessment, monitoring and new strategies for effective response
![Page 11: Chemical Engineering Education After Graduation Bruce R. Peachey, P.Eng. MCIC.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4a5503460f94b3ed9f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Responding to Social Change
◊ Greater demand for information by public• Questions are easier to develop than answers• Quick sources are the media & “pundits”
◊ Professionals must learn to communicate• Fact vs. theory• Theory vs. opinion
◊ Required are forums for discussion to try and achieve consensus and inform the public
• Reliable “Voice of Reason”
![Page 12: Chemical Engineering Education After Graduation Bruce R. Peachey, P.Eng. MCIC.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4a5503460f94b3ed9f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Personal Career Planning
◊ “Career employees” disappearing• Everyone must show current contributions• “Market” drives rapid changes
» Ownership
» Products
» Size
» Direction
◊ Requires proactive planning and career support long after the “first job”
![Page 13: Chemical Engineering Education After Graduation Bruce R. Peachey, P.Eng. MCIC.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e4a5503460f94b3ed9f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
