COURSE DESCRIPTION
Curtin’s Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) offers you an industry-connected education experience in which you will learn how to devise engineering solutions for complex societal and industry challenges.
Your study will begin with the Engineering Foundation Year (EFY). You’ll learn the fundamental concepts and develop the required skills common to all areas of engineering – giving you the opportunity to explore our range of engineering disciplines before choosing the major that you’ll focus on from your second year.
What you’ll learn
Demonstrate a conceptual understanding of applied science, computing, and engineering.
Use underpinning science, engineering, and sustainability principles to solve complex social and industrial challenges.
Design and implement engineering solutions in a safe, ethical, legal, professional, and through respectful partnerships with local First Peoples and other diverse cultures as globally responsible citizens.
Assess the available scientific and engineering knowledge and undertake applied research in the broad engineering field.
Employ the technologies and knowledge to develop and communicate effective and innovative engineering solutions to complex problems.
Develop lifelong learning habits, teamwork and leadership abilities, and project management skills.
Learn how to develop and optimise the processes that transform raw materials into products for a diverse range of societal and industry applications.
Chemical or ‘process’ engineering involves finding the best sequence of chemical and physical processing operations, plus the right operating conditions, to convert raw materials into higher-value products.
Chemical engineering covers the development, design and management of processes and equipment for the extraction, conversion and upgrading of materials, using physical, chemical and biological operations. There are numerous process industries serving a range of societal needs.
In this major you will specialise in Chemical Engineering or Oil and Gas.
Chemical Engineering
In this general stream, you’ll examine chemical engineering processes for a range of materials. You’ll explore the theory and applications of fluid flow, energy transfer, and separation and chemical reaction for the synthesis, design, control and optimisation of general chemical processes.
Oil and Gas
In addition to learning chemical engineering fundamentals, in this stream you’ll gain detailed knowledge of the exploration and development of oil and gas resources. You’ll explore the behaviour of hydrocarbon reservoirs, offshore drilling and production, the refining of crude oil and processing of natural gas.
What jobs can the Chemical Engineering lead to?
Careers
- Chemical engineer
- Process engineer
- Production/operations engineer
- Risk and safety manager

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION
Curtin University is Western Australia’s largest and most culturally diverse university with Australia’s third largest international student population. Around 60,000 students from more than 130 countries study a Curtin degree, at locations including Perth, Margaret River, Kalgoorlie, Sydney, Malaysia and Singapore. Our cultural diversity adds a rich and valuable dimension to the campus atmosphere, preparing all graduates to live and work effectively in an increasingly global environment. We offer a range of industry-aligned undergraduate and postgraduate courses in business, humanities, health, engineering and related sciences. We also have a long-standing focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education and culture, supported by our Centre for Aboriginal Studies.Curtin is widely recognised for its practical research that is focused on solving timely, real-world problems. In recent years our research activity has grown significantly, driving our rapid rise up the international university rankings.As a university that never settles, we will continue to develop existing partnerships and establish new ones in areas relevant to our research and teaching.
