Generally speaking, the employment of this major is not very optimistic.

It has been less than 10 years since the Ministry of Education started pharmaceutical engineering, and this major is quite embarrassing now. I don't know which direction you prefer.

If you enter a pharmaceutical enterprise and do production technology, 1~2 years is generally an intermediate engineer, and 3 ~5 years can be evaluated as a senior engineer.

However, I personally feel that doing this type of work is monotonous and easy to get bored.

Let me use a senior brother's post on Tianya to illustrate.

Pharmaceutical engineering, 1999, a newly-established major, has been opened in more than 50 universities across the country. Eight years later, at least three or four thousand people should have graduated from this major. Where did they all go to work? Are their careers as vigorous as this major? This is the question I want to ask, and I believe it is also the concern of thousands of students in this major now. Before that, I only hope that through what I have seen, heard and thought in these four years, I can start a discussion in this group: where are you going?

Since it's for juniors, let's talk about some sexual problems first.

Question 1: What does pharmaceutical engineering do? What can I do after graduation?

I entered school in 2002. What I wanted to know most at that time was what we would do in the future. However, almost no one told me, including our teacher, and I didn't know why until later.

As the first pharmacy major offered by Tianjin University 1999, why should our country offer such a major? My answer: the market needs+international trends. 1996, University of New Jersey, USA, pharmaceutical engineering is the first major in the world. From 65438 to 0999, China followed the world situation and launched the China version of pharmaceutical engineering. In order to solve such a realistic problem, pharmaceutical companies need talents who know both chemical equipment and chemical production, and at the same time know the relevant knowledge of drug production as a special chemical used by human beings. Those who used to know chemical industry only knew big chemical industry, which is what we call petrochemical industry. People who know pharmacy only know the reactions of bottles and cans in the laboratory, but they can't understand the large-scale production that is magnified hundreds of times. Therefore, the production staff of pharmaceutical factories are basically half-way monks and lack of talents. So I say, it's market demand+international trend. Then the positioning is very clear: we will be short of technicians in pharmaceutical production in the future. This is the orientation given by the state to this major.

Question 2: What is the difference between pharmaceutical engineering and pharmacy?

Pharmaceutical engineering is a major set up by the School of Chemical Engineering of a comprehensive university. As mentioned above, he needs to learn chemical knowledge, and also involves the basic theory of medicine. However, pharmacy only studies the nature and classification of drugs. Simply put, pharmacy is biased towards research, and pharmaceutical engineering is biased towards actual production.

Question 3: Since the prospect of pharmaceutical engineering is so promising, why are you still moaning here?

All I can say is that these are ideals. However, there is always a gap between ideal and reality. Just like the college life you imagined in high school, compared with the life you live now, you will say: it's not like that at all!

As I said, pharmaceutical engineering is a gap and there is a shortage of such people. In other words, there were no graduates before. So who is qualified to teach us now? Who has this ability? Will pharmaceutical engineering professors fall from the sky? Obviously, you can't.

As a result, a completely unified school-running model has emerged in China. At best, it is called a hundred schools of thought contend; at worst, it is called a pool of muddy water. It can be said that 158 pharmaceutical projects are different. Do what you want. Teaching materials, courses and training objectives are not unified. Do what you like. For example, the chemical engineering major in this school is relatively strong, so we will rely on the chemical engineering major to substantially adjust the chemical engineering curriculum and make do with pharmacy. That school has a strong biology major, and all of them are biology courses, called biopharmaceutical characteristics! God, your school can play like this. We can't afford it. Think about it, there is no uniform standard for graduates, just like the product specifications produced by the talent production line in universities are different. Which buyer dares to take it? College students themselves stink. Who will be interested in investigating what the pharmaceutical engineering in your school is? Are you deciding whether to recruit you or not? We are very confused, and the pharmaceutical factory is even more confused, so I will ask: Where are you going? So, I want to say that no one can tell you what pharmaceutical engineering is. Because, explore, explore. . . . .

Question 4: After graduation, there must be a way out. Where did all those graduates go?

At this point, I can only give you a hint based on what I have seen and heard, so it is inevitable to be partial. To put it simply, there are three ways: organic synthesis, drug analysis and postgraduate entrance examination. The major of the Institute of Chemical Engineering is synthesis and analysis, and both of them are professionals. If you were the boss, would you choose professionals or people like us who can be moved everywhere? In this way, when it comes to finding a job, we are like children without mothers, explaining everywhere, "We also learned ... and we did it." . . Experimental. Before looking for a job, let others know clearly what you have learned. What is this fucking cowardice? The name of our major is very nice, but it's a pity that we left. If you don't know something, will you pay?

Question 5: Do you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination?

First of all, I want to say to you: If you just think that you may not get the graduate diploma in the future, you might as well get it right away and start a higher level of study. If you think that working in the company without a postgraduate diploma will become a stumbling block to promotion. Then, I want to say that you are wrong!
