I Need Course Suggestions?

MikeB asked:


I am a junior chemical engineering student who is looking to go into the process control engineering field. I am doing my senior project in this topic as well. I was wondering what engineering electives to take to complement my career interests.

My options are:
An electrical engineering course (I already have an intro to EE course)
A mechanics course (statics, dynamics)
Or something else outside my major.

Also, I was wondering if I should substitute the senior Unit Operations Lab course for one of the courses I mentioned above and take two electives outside my major instead of one.

    Within the process control end of any business, the person with the broadest base of knowledge in ALL forms of engineering is the person who wll find himself to be indispensable to his employer, advancing quickly up the promotion ladder. With that in mind, I would suggest that you take that mechanical dynamics course, then add some more electrical depth to your portfolio.

    For process control engineering,
    you want to get the EE credits, without a doubt.
    Actually, I’m surprised that is not in you major.
    Make sure you take an EE coarse in control theory
    that also uses Matlab/Simulink within the coarse.
    (assuming you have not already used those tools)
