Following the introduction of the Chemical Engineering degree in 1952, graduates from the Chemical Engineering Department have readily been accepted into Industry, both in Australia and world wide. Graduate Chemical Engineering starting salaries are higher than for any other Engineering discipline.
Chemical Engineering is concerned with developing and analysing process systems which are strongly dependent upon Chemistry and include physical changes. Applications are found in the minerals industry, the metallurgical industry, the biological industry, the food industry, the pharmaceutical industry as well as the traditional chemical industry. Chemical engineers are well suited for environmental engineering given their strong background in process systems including chemical and biological processes.
Following a detailed course review the Chemical Engineering undergraduate program is completely new and offers electives at each year.
Chemistry is taken through three years of the four year program as is Mathematics. In first year two major Chemical Engineering subjects are taken and students may choose from a range of electives. In second year students are introduced to Process Engineering and Reactor Engineering which build on the first year core subjects. Also in second year students are given an introduction into how material and energy are transferred. In addition to core Chemical Engineering subjects students choose two electives, one of which must be a Chemical Engineering elective, but the other may be chosen from any Faculty in the University with approval.
