I saw this lecture in my first semester of ChemE in 2007... today I am a product development and process engineer for a flexible packaging company 😉 this lecture convinced me I was in the right engineering specialty.. and somehow youtube recommended this to me today.. warms my heart ❤
@@alensabu5484 yes, but your getting ahead of yourself, I'd say make sure you are good at math in general, get your algebra in good shape for what you will face in college courses for chemical engineering, if you could have a good understanding of pre calculus that is a big plus, it's the most important foundation and with that you'll get a good grasp of physics, chemistry, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, etc. again, make sure to have your math and algebra skills in check first
@@joeking3688 I just got a bachelor's degree back then, I don't really know if I have what it takes to pursue a PhD really, especially in chemical engineering, a PhD way more in depth than in an undergraduate degree and I don't know that I wanted to undergo that much stress again. currently I'm thinking of pursuing a masters degree, in materials engineering because that is mostly what applies to my job nowadays, that would help me more understand the characteristics of materials and how they behave under different conditions, specially polimers
علي المعمري you forgot to say its 20$. we had 100-200page scripts that acompanied our lectures and it only cost the cost for the paper+ink. 20$ would be 4-5 of these
yeah 20$ sounds like a lot especially when you know how much tuition fees are, you'd think they could cover that... but as others have said, I'm sure buying books is common practice and they can be way more expensive, and it's the US we're talking about...
Had a great professor like this my first semester at University of Florida. Dr Gerald Westermann-Clark. Was a fantastic educator and we were fortunate to have him as our first experience in solving chemical engineering problems.
I was 8 when this video was uploaded and now I’m doing a degree in chemical Engineering 😂 Edit: I changed my major to biochemistry! Life is funny sometimes
Stanford has done a great thing in bringing a pioneering professor full of wisdom ,humility and fun to listen to introduce with telling facts about what is chemical engineering instead of a young and inexperience TA.
From the book "Bad Blood" by John Carreyrou Channing Robertson “maintained that (Elizabeth ) Holmes was a once-in-a-generation genius, comparing her to Newton, Einstein, Mozart, and Leonardo da Vinci.”
Oh God, this guys is great! I have chemical engineering in Slovak, but it's so boring with the teacher. This guy kept my attention and he's even funny.
Almost done with my junior year in cheme. You'll be fine as long as you can put in work. The concepts aren't very difficult and the math usually will never go beyond basic differential equations, but they require time and practice.
knowledge and many years of experince in human form... Dear professor you cleared my doubts in CE and today am officially CE student... what a guy !!!!! what a professor !!!!!!!!!
I'll be back in 5 years when I finish my Chemical Engineering undergrad degree :) Update 1 [17/5/2023] : In exam season currently at the end of my 2nd year. Secured a placement this summer!
Do lots of professor's start off the year like this? (Confused high school student here) I hope they do; I expect to be completely confused in university...
I just finished my junior year of chem'e and argh! For my transport phenomena class: open book tests, 5 hours to finish them... and still nobody would get a grade higher than a 90 I mean, there's a reason why they have such high salaries, it's a lot of work as a student
you probably will never read this but if by any chance you do, was all of it worth it? Is the salary as good as u expected and do you enjoy the job? I'm gonna start uni later on this year and decided to take chem eng so I'd like to know as much about it before i start
@@rhazzzz If you're solely doing it for the salary, then I'd suggest you switch majors, as the courses can be quite challenging. If you do well, I had friends who went straight into industry with starting salaries between 50,000 to 80,000 and they are all doing very well. No one from my class struggled to get employment after graduation. Chem'E can also open doors to pursue a PhD, med school, or law school; and the courses overlap with other science majors, so you can easily do a double major in chemistry or physics, or completely switch to those majors early on. Hope that helps! I went on to pursue a PhD in materials science and now work as a research scientist for a chemicals company.
@@LuisaIslas thats actually very helpful thank you! I took chemE cuz i enjoy chemistry a lot in highschool, but I do hear from a lot of people that chemE is mostly physics with some chemistry in it which kinda worries me a little, but i still prefer physics and chem heavy over bio so ill take it. And if I falter mid semester or sth I just gotta remind myself that its all gonna be worth it haha. Thanks again!
Chemical Engineering is simply to industrialize the chemical processes maintaining the various constraints of economics, safety, environment, sustainability etc.More importantly Chemical Engineering discipline is more vocational rather than academics.
I am, for so many years back, an industrial chemistry graduate, that is quite similar or even more profound in chemical processing than the chemicalE course. I found this introductory lecture very good and informative. I also found the courses very similar to each other. I may conclude that ChE will be an IndCh course plus some design courses. what would u say?
i recently graduated from ChE, i wish we had TA's for the ChE classes man, you had to eat those books man, and solve problems by intuition, which is not bad, but u where never sure if you did them correctly o well....
I was seven when this was uploaded, now I am thinking of choosing between engineering branches I love organic chemistry , computer science, thermal physics and modern physics and I love stereochemistry and 3d geometry.
@@zawadulkarim9425 keep a 4.0. your first few years you can do it. Your GPA will drop as you go further because the classes are more intense so you need that initial buffer. Get internships early
no wonder this is some top tier school. it makes u wanna pay attention. unlike the ones that i have experienced, my Chem E teacher put u into sleep fast
I'm in junior H , and in my senior we can choose already what we want I'm thinking of doing this ! it seem interesting... but I'm not the person who get high grades on math nor science ( cause I'm interested on outer space more than our normal everyday life science) I'm thinking of reading this summer .___. starting to zero... like read all about chemistry yeah I dream big x'D I wish I could do it
You most surely can go into a job to do with outer space. If that's your thing I would say to pursue it and see certain jobs that appeal to you more than others and stick with the ones that you have fun studying. And as long as you like what you're learning and know you need it for what you want to study then I don't see something as "I'm not that good at math and science'" as something that should stop you from studying what you want to learn !!!!
Do NOT do it for jobs! Thats the dumbest reason ever. Do it for that passion. I am almost 10years older than you and just finding out i have a love for biochemistry that was blocked out by wanting to pursue thing for a 'job'. The best job to have is what you have a passion for. Thats why the professor is soo awesome.

Aoa bro what qualification is needed for chemical engineering? And subjects !?.
@@harrasmansoor4098 like if you still dont know lol. chemistry and physics and im doing the second highest maths

Well done very inspiring
How’s it going?
This video made me want to switch to Chemical Engineering from Civil Engineering because the things that Chem E majors do seems pretty fun
Where can I get a copy of the syllabus he wrote? "Introduction to Chemical Engineering" Channing Robertson (Is not on Amazon, ebay, or Google books)
i want this also
i am in the first year of chemical ingenieering and i super expectate ths will be the best course!
I hope my intro to chm eng prof. is like this man.
Brian Gonzalez did you enjoy ur program
yoooo how’s chem eng????
Hell yeah
I was 4 when this lecture uploaded and now i'll start learning chemical engineering next year
This is great that these are online and available for free. Fantastic.
Wow, I didn't realize Joe Biden had a twin brother. Is there a link for the syllabus?
He looks like a combo of Joe Biden and Ed Markey...

Chemical Engineering is simply to industrialize the chemical processes maintaining the various constraints of economics, safety, environment, sustainability etc.More importantly Chemical Engineering discipline is more vocational rather than academics.
The actual job itself, sure. But to say the curriculum of an Engineer isn’t academic isn’t true

Hi how is going did you make it
Seems like an awesome professor
Yes in real he is . .
I'm applying for chemical engineering.... Wish me luck. I should start next September... I'll try and keep y'all updated!!!!
Me too do u know where to get his lecture notes
Hey, How is it going so far?
This man looks like a great teacher.
Where can i get the courseware or the handout of this lesson？

Agreed, we need those who are wisdom and remind us that it is okay to be human
This professor is the best one I ever took.
Please anyone provide link to the PDF for the textbook he mentions at 3:45

I hope can study abroad and have a lecturer like him.
There’s more chem Eng graduates working at Intel than Elec Eng???

Do computer science as your major, minor in physics or chemistry
My advice as someone that was having million doubts at choosing a suitable major, choose with what you see yourself using and needing in the future
Thanks for the video!!! I pan on having a career in engineering so this is really useful. Thanks again!
Thank you. So many new words. Must rewatch!
this is great! our classes are boring.. :( i like this guy! cool way to explain chem.eng. :)

Chemical engineering but close
I believe that you can actually major in any engineering, watching these lecture, MIT, Stanford, Yale (yey for youtube major)
This is a good video to get inspire with the career most beautiful ever.
Same age and about to start the major classes as well. Good luck!
He's a good professor for this. Most of my professors are dead serious or foreign
Yeah sadly they make you fear the courses or the majors in general
Any links to his notes? It's 2021, it should be free online by now😅
Ghanaian name. Push hard son. lol
Could someone provide us with the pdf for this course
Is there a link where I can purchase the syllabus?

How could he be so fooled to quit and throw it all away for Elizabeth Holmes....right after he taught this class....he apparently joined Theranos.
Is there any chance I could get a hold of a PDF for that book(let)?
Also looking, cant find any contact information for Mr Robertson

34:10 "billions and billions of water" XD
nice, "its all about money", I wish I had a professor with a sense of humor like Prof. Robertson.
those people in the class are probably still studying because it takes atleast 4 years for chemical engineering! Thumps Up!!
where is the textbook ?
For anyone who has taken this course, is it a hard course compared to say calculus or physics?
+sweaty guy steve it depends on the teacher that teach you the course itself but over all its not hard at all
Wow. I wish I had a mentor like him.
He was Elizabeth Holmes mentor
Will you anyone share hand writeen pdf
