Why study Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering?

Bioprocess Engineering is critical to a range of industries that are important in Australia and Internationally. These industries include: Pharmaceuticals, biologics, food, beverages, biofuels, and water treatment. The combination of biological and chemical engineering principles and skills is necessary to design, operate, and innovate within these industries. Through the genomics revolution engineers can now begin to tackle biological problems using the same "measure, model, and manipulate" approach they have applied to physics and chemistry. Indeed, applying this system approach is widely recognised as essential for the development of innovative biotechnologies. As our ability to modify and control biological systems increases, biological processes will replace chemical and mechanical processes due to their inherent advantages of using renewable resources, lower energy consumption, and minimal waste. The final two years of the BE(Hons)/ME are built around a placement semester where students are able to choose what type of placement they would like to do and where they would like to do it.
