Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around seeking information on recent developments in Chemical Engineering, particularly for someone preparing for an interview in the field. The focus is on accessing relevant literature without incurring costs, as the original poster is not currently an engineering student.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related, Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • The original poster expresses difficulty in accessing Chemical Engineering journals due to subscription fees and seeks free resources.
  • One participant suggests visiting a nearby university library that offers Chemical Engineering degrees to access current journals.
  • The original poster clarifies that they are not currently enrolled in a university.
  • Another participant argues that access to university libraries may still be available to non-students, particularly at state colleges funded by taxpayer money.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants present differing views on the accessibility of university library resources for non-students, indicating a lack of consensus on this issue.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the original poster's financial constraints and the potential variability in library access policies across different institutions.

Need some help here.

I'm going for an interview for Chemical Engineering and I'd like to get some detailed info on what's happening in Chemical Engineering. I've looked at Chem Eng journals for developments and here's where the problem is. I have to subscribe since I'm not actually an engineer- money which I don't have, other places also include articles I have to pay for separately.
Have any of you got any websites that has developments...that are free?

Much thanks in advance

Go to the nearest University library - preferably one that offers Chem Eng degrees. They'll have the most current journals, especially if they have good research programs in-house.
 
I'm not in University, sorry if I didn't make this clear. I'm going for an Interview for a possible place to do Chemical Engineering in the University.
 
You don't necessarily have to be attending a University to access their libraries and read articles in their periodicals rooms. State colleges are funded in part with taxpayer money and you should be able to get some level of access to their periodicals.
