Chemical Engineering is sometimes called ‘process engineering’ because it involves finding the best sequence of chemical and physical processing operations, and the right operating conditions, to convert raw materials into higher-value products. These products include fuels, plastics, metals, pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs and clean water. Chemical engineers design, trouble-shoot and manage the large-scale processes that make these everyday products, in a safe, sustainable and cost-effective manner. Students of this course will have the advanced knowledge of the design, operation and management of processes in many industry sectors such as: oil and gas, minerals processing and metals, petrochemicals, polymers and synthetic fibers, bulk chemicals, like cement and fertilizers and many more.
Good knowledge of Chemistry.
Major study in this course includes gaining of knowledge related to fundamental concepts engineering, development, design and operation of processes and plant for the extraction, conversion and purification of a wide range of materials, fluid flow, energy transfer, separation and chemical reaction for the synthesis, design optimisation and control of general chemical processes, knowledge of the exploration, development and conservation of oil and gas resources.
Students are eligible to this course if they have score 9 in GCE/STPM/HKALE (A-levels - best of three), score 28 in IB, score 70 in Ontario Gr 12 (best of 6), score 80 in TER (including TEE/SACE/HSC/VCE), score 59 in WAUFP (CPS), 77% in India/Pakistan, score 10 in Sri Lanka.
This course is accredited by Engineering Accreditation Commission of Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.
Chemical engineers design and coordinate the construction and operation of manufacturing facilities and processes which convert raw materials into everyday products such as petrol, toothpaste, pharmaceuticals and plastics.
