Graduate Says South Taught Him ‘How to Think as an Engineer’

Arianjel埃尔南德斯

It’s impossible for any academic program to prepare engineers for each specific problem they’ll need to solve, said Arianjel埃尔南德斯, a chemical and biomolecular engineering graduate of the 十大彩票网投平台.

“You get taught how to think as an engineer, mostly,” he said. 每一项工作,每一种化学品 plant, each day’s challenges are unique and impossible for professors to anticipate.

So his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from South gave him what he needed to succeed: “a solid foundation to ask questions and figure out problems.“这很有帮助,因为 the chemical and biomolecular engineering department is relatively small, “you get a lot more one-on-one time with the professors.”

Hernandez was born and grew up in Mobile as a first-generation Cuban American. For college, South seemed a logical choice, confirmed by campus tours and shadowing a 很少有化学课程.

 

“You get a lot more one-on-one time with the professors.”

 

During his undergraduate and graduate years, he had process engineering internships with the German chemical company Evonik at two plants in Theodore, Alabama, just south 的移动. (A process engineer is responsible for the equipment, systems and methods 在制造工厂里.)

One Evonik plant produced hydrogen cyanide, the other acrolein. 两者都被广泛使用 industrial chemicals, and both can be lethal. “安全是一件大事.”

Master’s in hand, he worked first at a project execution company in Mobile and then back in Theodore for INEOS, a global chemicals manufacturer.

At INEOS, Hernandez said, he helps fix whatever problems arise. 他也从事其他方面的工作 projects, such as expanding and “de-bottlenecking” the manufacturing process.

It’s almost like being back at South, where exams, he said, were famously difficult. “They’re trying to see how you thought through the process and how you’ve worked it out, not if you can regurgitate what you did for homework.

“That transferred forward to the kind of critical thinking you do in the real world.”

  • Chemical engineering is a viable pre-med option. 几门涉及医学的课程 College Admission Test content can be used in the chemical engineering undergraduate 课程. South offers a pre-med chemical engineering track and opportunities for undergraduate research in biomedical engineering.
  • Women make up approximately 50% of undergraduate chemical engineering students at South.
  • Chemical engineers are increasingly involved with alternative fuels and carbon capture as industry adapts to fight climate change.
