Why study Chemical Engineering?
Chemical engineers invent, design, and manage products and processes that transform raw materials into valuable products using the latest knowledge of biology, chemistry and physics to ensure minimum loss of materials and consumption of energy. This value-adding must be safe, economical and environmentally sound. It is a rapidly changing profession with chemical engineers working at the cutting-edge of fields such as molecular biology, nano-materials and chemistry, physics, mathematics and information technology. Chemical engineers design both products and the processes needed for their commercial-scale production. They also manage operation and optimisation of these processes to produce such products as petrol, plastics, instant coffee, pharmaceuticals, and artificial blood. Tailor your specialisation in chemical engineering with majors or minors that meet your interests and career goals. Chemical engineering offers these options: Majors Biomedical engineering Bioprocess engineering Environmental engineering Materials engineering Metallurgical engineering Minors Computing Data science Design
