COURSE DESCRIPTION

Chemical engineering. Pure science, applied to real world problems

We train engineers capable of solving the greatest global challenges. You will apply the fundamental principles of physics and chemistry, and specialised disciplines such as bio and nanotechnology to key problems in our community. You will analyse and design processes, plants and control systems for productivity, safety and sustainability.

What is chemical engineering Chemical Engineering is about designing efficient processes to produce, utilise, transport and transform materials and energy. Chemical engineers work in a vast range of industries. This includes both large-scale industries such as mineral processing and energy generation. Chemical engineers also work in the production of consumer products such as food and cosmetics.

You could work as a Process Engineer recovering iron ore from raw mine feed. Or you could develop sustainable biofuel production for remote communities. Or you could work to remove harmful metals and substances from groundwater.

Course overview

Learn critical technical and engineering skills by studying courses in:

heat transfer and design of energy systems

thermodynamics

mass transfer and separation processes

fluid mechanics

kinetics and reaction engineering

green engineering and sustainability processes

Career opportunities

Chemical engineers work in a wide range of industries. Roles are flexible and diverse. You may prefer hands-on fieldwork or design and development. Or you might prefer a leadership role managing people and projects.

Create products like plastics, fertilisers, consumables, pharmaceuticals and paints. You might also work to develop fields such as environmental control, resource utilisation, minerals processing, renewable energy, waste management and recycling.

Engineering is the most commonly held degree of the highest performing Fortune 500 CEOs. The CEOs of companies such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Tesla Motors are all engineers.

Professional outcomes:

biotechnology engineer

nuclear engineer

chemical safety manager

water treatment designer

mineral processing engineer

environmental remediation engineer
