Bachelor of Science (Applied Chemistry)/Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical Engineering) (Honours)
Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology
About
This program is designed to produce graduates who are skilled as both scientists and engineers, who can be involved in the development of new products from the initial laboratory development through to large-scale production.This program has been validated and approved by the Industry Advisory Committees of both the Applied Chemistry and the Chemical Engineering programs as one which will produce graduates who will be highly sought after by employers for the depth and breadth of their skills and experience.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.
