“Chemical engineering really isn’t about chemistry guys we deal with physics and maths more than anything. It’s about big chemical plants, we design heat exchangers, reactors, filtration tanks, and so many more components that all come together to form a big system, like a wastewater treatment plant for example. You’ll learn about fluids, heat transfer, thermodynamics, and momentum, etc. It’s a challenging degree but very rewarding as well. Just when you think you’ve survived first year, second year will hit you like a truck, but despite all that, what got me through so far is the collaborative nature of this degree. There are tons of group work and labs to do throughout the course, especially second year, only making your teamwork skills get better, and you support each other both through the degree and mentally. Having good friends in the course is so important personally because you ace the degree not just by being smart, but by being a team.”
