This course is a major in the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) degree.

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.
