Master of Professional Engineering (Chemical) (pre 2019)
The University of Newcastle
About
The Master of Professional Engineering (Chemical) program will extend students’ learning in the discipline of chemical engineering.
For students completing the 2 year MPE, the first year focuses on advanced fundamental skills and knowledge required for the practicing chemical engineer.
Following this, and in conjunction with students completing the 1 year MPE, students are exposed to capstone level courses in energy and resources engineering while also completing an advanced level research program.
This program produces graduates with the knowledge, and technical and professional attributes to provide innovative solutions to society’s needs now and into the future.
