1,175 chemical engineer interview questions shared by candidates

At the assessment day I was asked to prepare a presentation on a technical subject of my choice - presented to 10 people or so. Had a group exercise where we took it in turn to go and look at a connex model and then return to team and describe what you saw and how to build it (you will need a good short term memory haha), technical questions given on reading a PID and how to make a cup that holds temp badly (weak insulator). And a final written task based on writing a technical summary given an article.
