Process-Chemical Engineering 101 – Preparing you for the Job

What you’ll learn:
Learn what the job of being a Process Engineer entails. Our Role, Responsibilities, along with the Tasks, Calculations, the Documents we
Prepare Process Engineers for the documents they need to do and produce during a project from prefeasibility phase to Detailed Engineering.
Give examples of the tools used, sample calculations, Rules of Thumb and focus on the key skills all process engineers require.
Take Students through a sample project, which includes scope change and hour estimates and other aspects not taught in school (ORA, HAZOP, Narratives)

Requirements:
1st Year University Engineering or Technical college

Description:
Most young engineers learn the foundational math required for employment as a process/chemical engineer, but not the actual requirements of the job. This course is to give you more insight and a better understanding of what a process/chemical engineer is required to do when they get out into industry. It will teach you the acronyms, the stages of design development, cover most the tasks and deliverables (i.e. drawings and documents)  that a process engineer is required to complete as part of an engineering design. I will walk you through examples, starting with a SOW and Design Basis, that form the basis of a simple project, to show you what is typically required of a process/chemical engineer in industry. I will give you insight into the role and some guidance to help you with your career from the point of view of a senior process engineer who has been working since 1990 and mentors/ has mentored many engineers. This course is meant to better prepare you for the job as process/chemical engineer, including the challenges that you will face, the skills you will need beyond just the math you leanr in school. For those in project management, this course will also give you a better understanding of how the process engineer fits into the various stages of a project, the sequence of development and how the various documents are tied to one another.

Who this course is for:
Students in process/chemical engineering, new engineers (EITs) and any engineer who want to learn about a Chemical/Process Enigneer’s job, EPCM, new project engineers.
