• In the course, students will learn how raw materials can be transformed into useful products in a safe and cost-effective way. For example petrol, plastics and synthetic fibres such as polyester and nylon, all come from oil.
  • Chemical engineers understand how to alter the chemical, biochemical or physical state of a substance, to create a range of products as diverse as cosmetics and fuels.
  • The course covers energy resource exploitation and management, industrial practices and processes, chemical thermodynamics and reaction engineering, process design and control, health and safety and protection of the environment, and petroleum and chemical refining.
