Chemical engineering combines science with engineering practice and design. Biotechnology uses knowledge at the molecular level of living systems to devise strategies to solve important practical problems like controlling disease and making the environment safer. Chemical engineers inculcate biotechnology to make production on a larger scale. These integrated skills can be applied to environmental management, agriculture and natural resource management, as well as a range of biological-based products and processes. Chemical engineers can promote processing industries using minimal energy to produce less waste and maximize environmental safety. This degree helps student to gain skills in better management of the environment; preventing, diagnosing and curing disease; improving crop plants and livestock; detecting pollutants and contaminants; and using organisms to produce chemicals, including drugs and food, and agrichemicals.
Higher Mathematics and Chemistry or VCE Mathematical Methods (CAS) and Chemistry.
In this degree course the major concept of study includes environmental management, agriculture and natural resource management, better management of the environment viz, (preventing, diagnosing and curing disease).Hence, helping improvisation of crop plants and livestock, Thus, detecting pollutants and contaminants, by usage of organisms to produce chemicals, including drugs and food, and agrichemicals.
Student must have successfully completed an Australian Year 12 or an equivalent senior secondary school qualification with a minimum average of 70%.For information on international qualifications and corresponding entry requirements that are equivalent to an Australian Year 12, see the Entry requirements by country web page.Equivalent qualifications may also include completion of the RMIT Foundation Studies program or a recognised post secondary diploma in the relevant discipline with the required grades.
Graduates qualify for professional membership of scientific societies like the Australian Institute of Biology, the Australian Society for Microbiology and the Australian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.Graduates are also eligible for graduate membership of Engineers Australia and the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE), UK. IChemE is the primary international professional society for the Chemical Engineer.The double degree is accredited by IChemE (UK) at the MEng Level.
After persuasion of the degree, Graduate can work in a variety of areas, from process and project engineering to marketing or research. Our graduates work in research, production and testing, positions in government and commercial laboratories and in industry. They work in: government departments (local, state and Commonwealth), CSIRO, medical research institutes, hospitals, universities, secondary teaching, private industry like CSL Ltd and other employers. Further options include forensics and food processing, whilst experience and or further qualification graduates are employed at higher levels of responsibility.
5 years full-time, Year 1 is conducted on the City campus and years 2–5 are shared between the City
