As a process engineer in the oil and gas industry. I have an M.Eng degree in Chemical Engineering  (4 year Course). Which would be the most important modules to brush up on so that I can hit the ground running when I start work? I graduated during the summer last year so my knowledge is sketchy in a few areas.

All advice from undergraduates, postgraduates, and professionals would be much appreciated.

Depends on where you will start to work. As long as you don't know - hard to say.

Thanks for the response. I will be working on the front end engineering design team on the process side of things for a young upcoming upstream company.

Hi newengineer,

My personal experience is to understand chemistry (which is usually only 1 or 2 courses in  Engineering). The physical part of engineering is easy (size of tanks, hp of pumps), but there is no way that you are going to be prepared for the chemistry involved.

My $0.02 is to brush up on your chemistry courses.

Sincerely,

Eugene
