Graduate Diploma in Professional Engineering - Chemical Engineering

This course is designed for those who wish to convert into a different engineering discipline, or from an undergraduate science or technology degree. It provides foundational knowledge, skills and professional competencies for an engineer in your chosen discipline. On completion you will qualify to enter the Master of Professional Engineering where you will meet the Stage 1 academic requirements for chartered status as a professional engineer. Chemical, or ‘process’, engineering involves finding the best sequence of chemical and physical processing operations, and the right operating conditions, to convert raw materials into higher-value products. It covers the development, design and management of processes and equipment for the extraction, conversion and upgrading of materials using physical, chemical and biological operations. This specialisation in Chemical Engineering will provide students, from other discipline areas, content knowledge in areas specific to Chemical Engineering. Graduates will qualify for entry to the Master of Professional Engineering (Chemical Engineering).What you'll learnapply technical and theoretical knowledge and skills to identify and evaluate innovative solutions to complex engineering problemsrecognise the importance of culture, including that of local First Peoples, and be able to work respectfully and productively across culturesanalyse contemporary industry needs generate creative and innovative engineering solutionsapply engineering skills and knowledge, sustainability frameworks, and ethical approaches to address issues of international relevanceuse technology to facilitate problem solving and communicate effective and innovative solutions in an engineering contextrecognise the role of a professional engineer in society and work ethically and morally to develop a professional profile as an engineer
