How do I get internships in chemical engineering and research opportunities?
I'm a 3rd year chemical engineering student with a decent cgpa of 9 and so far I've completed 1 online internship on process safety management and an internship on water analysis which was a part of my academic curriculum. As I begin my 3rd year in this field, I am constantly looking for internships but i see a lot of companies offering internships with a fee. I find it a bit odd... when i first joined college, I thought an internship is when i work for an organization, they pay me or they don't (unpaid one is fine too) but me paying someone to give me an internship is just weird. But since I just have around 2 years left for my graduation, I'm worried that i haven't done enough internships. Recently, i viewed some online courses on the 'coursera' website like certified courses on excel, python and data analytics which seem interesting to me. So I wanna know if i should take up these courses. Will adding these course certificates to my cv or linkedin help me boost my internship and job opportunities? How do i get an internship in a leading chemical company?
Which degrees would you recommend for someone who's interested in Chemistry and the Beauty / Luxury Goods Industry (Cosmetics/Pharmaceuticals/Textiles...) ?
I'm applying for Chemical Engineering in uni - I’m choosing this path because I love chemistry and I want a degree that leads to a high earning career, specifically in the beauty and cosmetics industry (like L'Oréal, Estée Lauder, etc.). However, I've been told by current students that the math and physics are really hard, and I'm scared that I will drop out since I'm not the best at these subjects. Also, they claim that there isn't much chem in the degree anyway. I'm mainly choosing ChemE for the salary (as opposed to a regular chem degree), and for it being a 'general' engineering degree which allows for branching out into varying industries. I would like to work in a fun, sensory, and creative environment, collaborating with marketing and design teams, rather than sitting behind a computer doing stressful heavy simulation or structural modeling... Yet I feel like that's incompatible with the salaries I want. So which degree or studies would you recommend for me? Thanks!

What types of programs should I learn if I want to be a chemical engineer?
Aloha, My name is Kyrstin D. , I'm a college student working on a Chemistry BS major, and I want to be a chemical engineer. I'm currently working as an administrative assistant at an electrical engineering company, and I was wondering if any of the programs used at my company would be good for me to get acquainted with -- for, both, giving me more insight into how it is to be a chemical engineer and allowing me to have a more stand-out portfolio when I'm applying to be a Chemical Engineering grad student. Thank you so much for providing the time to answer my question, and I hope everyone is safe and well during these times. #chemical-engineering #chemical-engineer #engineering #engineer #chemistry

Biomedical Engineering vs Chemical Engineering with Bio specialization?
I have been interested in pursuing a Biomedical Engineering major. However, people argue that biomedical engineering is the jack of all trades and master of none. This has been concerning for me as I would very much like to major in something and feel that I have mastered what I am learning without needing to go back to school for a Master's Degree. I aim to be successful in an engineering career once I have graduated my bachelor's degree. What is the difference between graduating with a Biomedical Engineering major and graduating with a Chemical Engineering major with a concentration in bio? Are potential careers different for these two? Is one better than the other? #engineering #biomedical-engineering #chemical-engineering #biotechnology #biochemistry #chemical-engineer #stemcareers #stem16
