Chemical Engineers are concerned with sustainability – the environment and safety as founding principles for economic development. They develop safe, efficient processes to convert raw materials into useful products, as well as research and develop new technologies to solve current world problems. They plan specifications for full-scale production, taking into account costs, market needs, transportation, and environmental issues. They diagnose faults in process plants and prepare feasibility studies for various processes. Developing and testing new and alternative environmentally-friendly fuels are a growing area for chemical engineers.

Our course is accredited by Engineers Australia, and this is recognised across Australia and internationally. Chemical engineers are in high demand across the world and are employed in a wide range of industries such as in research, water, minerals, energy, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and food sectors. You will gain expertise for careers in minerals processing, sugar refining, pharmaceutical product manufacturing, safety management and environmental assessment.
