COURSE CURRICULUM

This chemical engineering degree offers a rigorous and comprehensive education that builds a strong foundation in both core engineering principles and industry-specific knowledge. In the first year, students are introduced to the fundamentals of chemical engineering, engineering mathematics, chemistry, design and materials, and engineering professional skills. These modules lay the groundwork for understanding how chemical engineers approach problem-solving, process design, and sustainability. Students learn basic concepts such as thermodynamics, material properties, and engineering calculations while gaining exposure to real-world industrial applications. The second year deepens this foundation with more technical modules such as Reactor Engineering, Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics, and Separation Processes 1. Students also study Process Measurement & Control and begin to develop the skills needed for designing systems that are both efficient and safe. The inclusion of Process Design for Sustainability reflects the program’s commitment to environmental responsibility, and the Engineering Mathematics 2 module ensures students have the analytical tools necessary for advanced topics. In the final year, the curriculum emphasizes practical, real-world application through modules like Chemical Plant Design, Fluids, Heat & Mass Transfer Processes 2, and Process Safety. The Individual Design Project allows students to apply their cumulative learning to a complex engineering problem, demonstrating mastery in design, data analysis, and feasibility assessment. Students explore modern separation processes, environmental safeguarding, and simulation software like Aspen HYSYS to prepare for professional practice. Modules like Engineering Professional Practice focus on the standards and expectations of professional engineering accreditation, while a range of optional modules including Quality Engineering, Energy Transition, and Environmental Engineering offer students the opportunity to tailor their learning towards areas of interest or emerging challenges in the field. Overall, this degree equips graduates with the theoretical knowledge, technical proficiency, and professional skills needed to thrive in modern chemical engineering industries and to contribute meaningfully to sustainable, innovative solutions.
