Chemical engineers transform raw materials into useful and commercial end products. This involves the research of raw materials and their properties, design and development of equipment and the evaluation of operating processes. You will acquire skills, knowledge and experience in chemistry and chemical thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, material and energy balances, as well as particle technology and process design.

Units

 

Levels 2, 3 and 4

Parts C, D. Chemical engineering knowledge, application and practice (108 points)

Students complete:

  • CHM1011 Chemistry I* or CHM1051 Chemistry I advanced**
  • ENG2005 Advanced engineering mathematics
  • CHE2161 Mechanics of fluids (if not already completed at level one)
  • CHE2162 Material and energy balances
  • CHE2163 Heat and mass transfer
  • CHE2164 Thermodynamics I
  • CHE3161 Chemistry and chemical thermodynamics
  • CHE3162 Process control
  • CHE3164 Reaction engineering
  • CHE3165 Separation processes
  • CHE3166 Process design
  • CHE3167 Transport phenomena and numerical methods
  • CHE4161 Engineer in society
  • CHE4162 Particle technology
  • CHE4164 Integrated industrial project (24 points)***
  • CHE4170 Design project (12 points)
  • CHE4180 Chemical engineering project (12 points)

* If not already completed at level one.

** Students undertaking the chemical engineering specialisation as part of E3007 Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and Bachelor of Science will need to complete an additional approved science unit at level 1 to meet the Bachelor of Science requirements; CHM1011 or CHM1051 are counted towards the chemical engineering specialisation and contribute to the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) requirements.

*** This is for selected students taking a period of integrated industrial training in the first semester of their final year. It will replace the three units (CHE4180, CHE4161 and one of the steam elective units) which form the normal first semester of the final year.

Part E. Elective study (36 points)

Single degree students complete a. and b. below:

  1. 12 points of electives at level 2 or 3 from one of the following options:
  2. 24 points of level 3 and 4 units from the list of technical electives below

    For students completing a double degree, some units required for the partner degree are credited as electives towards this degree.

Chemical engineering technical electives

  • CHE2166 Introduction to process simulation
  • CHE2167 Process material selection
  • CHE3163 Sustainable processing I
  • CHE3171 Bioprocess technology
  • CHE3172 Nanotechnology and materials 1 (Clayton only)
  • CHE4171 Biochemical engineering
  • CHE4172 Nanotechnology and materials 2
  • CHE4173 Sustainable processing 2
  • CHE5881 Advanced reaction engineering (Clayton only)*
  • CHE5882 Biomass and bio-refineries (Clayton only)*
