Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) Chemical Process
Overview
Chemical process engineers are experts in the design and operation of chemical plants that transform raw materials as building blocks into functional, safe and sustainable products. They use their knowledge in scientific disciplines spanning biology, chemistry, fluid mechanics, automation, smart and autonomous systems fed by data and AI, to create chemical products society needs in sectors like energy, food, industry 4.0, climate change adaptation, sustainability, agriculture and health. Students gain practical skills in chemical and process engineering using smart technologies, automation and digital learning tools.
