Chemical Engineering(finals) But I Have Interest In Data Science by KlausMichaelson: 2:44pm On Jun 23, 2020 |
Good day Nairalanders, I'm currently a final year student of a prestigious Federal University studying Chemical Engineering. I have come to realize that I love Data Science and I will like to be a Data Scientist. This doesn't mean I regret studying Chemical Engineering. I love Chemical Engineering but I have more penchant for Data analysis of any sort. Please advise me on how to go about this Career path of becoming a Data Scientist even tho my field of study is not related to it compared to the common ones like Computer Science, Statistics etc. What courses should I be looking forward to in my Masters and PhD (God's grace) that will make me fit into a Data Scientist even though I have a background in Chemical Engineering. NB: I have a Cgpa of about 4.3 and likely will be awarded the best graduating student. So changing my path is for no other reason than passion. Thanks as I welcome your advices. 1 Like |

KlausMichaelson:I am also a chemical engineer interested in Data science, unfortunately careerwise there is almost no relationship between both, except a complete career switch in my opinion. If you are good at using data science languages like Python and R, then you can go into Bioinformatics for a Masters and PhD, which would make your switch into Data Science easier. The major option I see is to start from scratch and go into a complete switch in your masters degree by searching for Digital Engineering programs that admit engineers of all stripes. However if we ignore our very little options careerwise, I believe we can also apply data science skills on chemical datasets found on Kaggle. One can also dabble into process control and statistics as a major elective in a chemical engineering Masters degree program. Most chemical engineers use only excel and matlab for their data work, you could focus on those areas of chemical engineering as well. 1 Like |

Daejoyoung: Thanks for your advice Fellow Colleague. I'll consider Bioinformatics or the Digital Engineering. I'll check them out. once again Thanks. |
