Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00109J
We train engineers capable of solving the greatest global challenges. You will apply the fundamental principles of physics and chemistry, and specialised disciplines such as bio and nanotechnology to key problems in our community. You will analyse and design processes, plants and control systems for productivity, safety and sustainability.What is chemical engineering? Chemical Engineering is about designing efficient processes to produce, utilise and transform materials and energy. Chemical engineers work in a vast range of industries. This includes large-scale industries such as mineral processing, water production and energy generation. Chemical engineers are also integral to the manufacturing of consumer products such as food, beverage, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.You could work as a process engineer recovering iron ore from raw mine feed, you could develop sustainable biofuel production for remote communities, or you could work to remove harmful metals and substances from groundwater.
