Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Chemical Engineering)

Chemical or process engineering involves developing the best sequence of physical, chemical and biological processing steps, and the right operating conditions, to convert raw materials into higher value materials – safely, economically and on a large scale. Hydrocarbon products and metals production are among the most recognised applications of chemical engineering, although the discipline encompasses diverse products that serve the changing needs of society. These include the emerging hydrogen economy and battery technologies, as well as polymers, advanced materials, speciality chemicals and pharmaceuticals. They also include consumer products such as food and beverages, paper, cosmetics, agrichemicals, cement and clean water.You’ll graduate with the expertise for diverse careers in process engineering industries. This course gives you the flexibility to study specialisations, to either deepen your knowledge in the field of chemical engineering or broaden your expertise in other disciplines.
