Focus on advanced chemical processes, materials science, and sustainable engineering solutions for industries like energy, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing.

Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) Chemical Engineering

Chemical engineering is the branch of engineering which deals with changing the composition, energy content, and state of aggregation of materials.

The program encompasses the fundamental properties and nature of matter (chemistry), the forces that act on matter (physics), and the precise expressions of the relationships between them (mathematics). It therefore incorporates computer-based modelling techniques to handle the application of these sciences to engineering problems.

The B.Eng. in Chemical Engineering includes courses aimed at process design of different production systems such as: food processing systems, fertilizers, rubber, fibres, and fuels.

There is now a growing field of biomedical engineering involving chemical engineers in the development of specialized polymeric materials for use in artificial arms, legs, and other human organs.

The program is designed to provide abroad technical basis with an emphasis on material balances, energy balances, separation processes, rate processes, unit operations, and process economics and design. This will serve as input into chemical-based manufacturing - applying chemistry for commercial-quantity production of a wide variety of products, including:

• Fuels (gasoline, natural gas)
• Petro-Chemicals (chemicals obtained from petroleum or natural gas)
• Agricultural Chemicals (fertilizers, pesticides)
• Industrial Chemicals (acids, alkalis, organics, salts)
• Plastics, Polymers and Fibers
• Paper and Paper Products
• Pharmaceuticals and Drugs
• Consumer Products (paints, soaps, household cleaners, etc.)
• Food Additives/Products
• Advanced Materials (ceramics, electronic materials, composites, etc.)
