Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Chemical Engineering (085458G)

In the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Chemical Engineering program, students will build a thorough understanding of engineering fundamentals in their first year. In second year, students will deepen their knowledge and focus on theoretical and practical learning, studying a specialised major plus one minor. 

The Chemical Engineering major focuses on the creation, manipulation and design of products using raw materials, and chemistry and physics principles. Students will become an expert in the intricacies of reactor design and modelling, and learn how to comprehend the concepts of instrumental analysis. They will also build an in-depth understanding of advanced chemical technologies such as minerals processing, extractive metallurgy and bioprocessing.

Students will gain hands-on skills through laboratory classes and field trips. They will participate in twelve weeks of work placements with industry partners, and may have the opportunity for paid work experience.

Studies culminate in the fourth year with an Honours component — a major engineering project and thesis. Students will research a current industry issue and work towards designing a solution.

Graduates of the engineering program are innovative problem solvers, creative designers and applied scientists involved in a variety of industries.
