Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical Engineering) (Honours)

Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology

About

The Chemical Engineering program is designed to ensure that, as a graduate, you will be able to perform professionally and effectively in all chemical engineering-related fields and demonstrate that you have acquired associated capabilities and skills as defined by the national accreditation body, Engineers Australia.As a graduate engineer you will be capable of integrating the social, environmental and economic demands with the technical possibilities of each new challenge.

You will be an effective problem identifier and solver, skilled in quantitative analysis and effective decision making;

someone who can maximise the benefits of each project while satisfying all stakeholders.

During your studies, you will find yourself working in teams and relying on communication processes to achieve the project goals.

You will come to understand and appreciate that, in a rapidly changing world, ongoing learning is a key ingredient of your success in this field.Enabling students to:develop an understanding of fundamental knowledge of Chemical Engineering principles and apply them to design sustainable processes and products for the benefit of society, environment, and businesses engage with the processes of innovation and global change and to deal with new challenges.

develop sustaining values, including a commitment to their own learning.In learning environments which focus on:knowledge;

contemporary content, clear goals, deep learning focus, global focus learners;

adequate preparation, interactive engagement, adaptation to individual learning styles assessment;

specific standards, range of assessments, progressive feedback community;

application and transfer focused, cross-disciplinary, problem-solving, vocationally recognised, socially inclusive orientation, internationally relevant.You will undertake a capstone experience in the final year courses OENG1167 Engineering Capstone Project Part A and OENG1168 Engineering Capstone Project Part B, in which you will conduct a research project that can be analytical, experimental, design or computational in nature (or some combination).This program is primarily delivered in face-to-face mode at the City Campus
