Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Chemical) (pre 2017)
The University of Newcastle
About
Chemical engineering is at the forefront of efforts to address the most significant issues facing the international community in the 21st Century:
the provision of potable water, overcoming greenhouse gas emissions, and the establishment of clean energy sources.
Chemical engineering is concerned with the processing of gases, liquids and solids for the purpose of producing everyday products from toothpaste to steel.
Chemical engineers also apply their skills to solving problems in many fields including the emerging fields of biotechnology, microfluids and nanotechnology and the environmental sector.
