- Program Outline
Chemical Engineering involves the systematic design, development and operation of process systems for the extraction, transformation and recovery of materials. It is a key engineering discipline, which combines knowledge of basic chemistry and mathematics with engineering principles and real world economic considerations. The scale of operation varies from small to very large, and a principal feature of chemical engineering is the translation of laboratory-scale research results to large-scale commercial production.
Chemical Engineering is the discipline which sustains and improves a range of industries as diverse as food processing, petrochemicals, ceramics, petroleum refining, primary metals, plastics, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, glass and specialty chemicals.
This program will allow graduates to practice as specialised Chemical Engineers.
Well-suited to graduates wanting more than the one year Masters engineering program, this program gives the option of studying technical courses at an advanced level and the opportunity to engage in a research project.
A 48-unit program, students will complete the requirements for the Masters of Engineering, with additional study comprising 12 units of more advanced technical coursework. A project to the value of 12 units introduces candidates to research.Intending students should consult the program coordinator early in the year in which they plan to study to check when particular courses or projects will be available.
- Program Structure
48 units of study including 36 units of coursework including core and elective courses and a research project within specified discipline to the value of 12 units.
