Unit Set Information

Chemical Engineering Major

Effective from 01-JAN-2017 : Code MABUVK

Chemical Engineering is one of the cornerstones of engineering education (alongside Civil, Mechanical and Electrical). In broad terms, it is concerned with the application of knowledge from an understanding of how materials and chemicals interact or can be converted in some way to a more useful form as part of some processing, production or refining process.

Disclaimer

This unit set information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester. In particular please check the unit and unit set offerings, as these differ according to course delivery location.

This Major can be studied in the following courses:

Special Admission Requirements

All applicants are required to have Chemistry ATAR, with equivalents considered.

Mode of Delivery

On Campus at Joondalup

Learning Outcomes

Professional recognition

This Major has been Provisionally Accredited by: Engineers Australia

This professional recognition only applies when you study this Major in one of the following courses:

Employment Opportunities

Chemical engineers work in a wide range of domains from mineral processing, mining, and oil and gas, through to industries associated with clothing, food, packaging, fertilisers, pharmaceuticals and many other manufacturing and biological processes. In Western Australia many chemical engineers find career opportunities in the extensive mining, mineral processing and oil and gas industries that dominate the industrial profile of the state. Chemical Engineers play a central role in both the production, refining and down stream processing in these important resource-based industries.
