Chemical Process Engineering
What is Chemical Process Engineering?
Chemical Process Engineering is the conversion of raw materials into essential products, from fertilisers and pharmaceuticals to food, drinks and renewable energy.
Chemical process engineers design and maintain the chemical process plants and equipment used to generate these products. They also design and operate chemical plants that transform raw materials as building blocks, to functional, safe and sustainable products.
What you’ll learn
You will obtain deep knowledge and understanding of chemical process engineering and practice oriented skills, including digital, to become a competent chemical process designer and simulator professional engineer.
