Chemical Engineering is a highly adaptable and versatile area of engineering. It applies the principles of chemistry, physics, mathematics, biology, and economics to transform energy and materials into useful and affordable products. It covers the research, design and operation of new and existing processes to minimize environmental impacts, ensure compliance with legal and ethical standards and maximize profits and benefits to society. Chemical engineers take leading roles in many different sectors. These range from energy and water, food, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, consumer products, and even finance. They use their technical know-how and ingenuity to develop solutions to many of the world’s most pressing challenges. For example, climate change and the large-scale production of new vaccines. The Chemical Engineering program will teach students how to apply scientific and engineering principles to the design and analysis of chemical process equipment and flow sheets. The bench and pilot-scale laboratories, computer classes and project work will help students to understand and apply taught principles to engineering problems, whilst also developing key laboratory, teamwork and Information Technology skills.
