Course content

This is a conversation course specifically designed for the graduates who have obtained a primary degree in a science or engineering discipline (other than Chemical Engineering) and wish to develop a career in the process or pharmaceutical industries. This course provides a firm grasp of the fundamental principles underlying the field of chemical engineering and practical engineering experience in the design and operation of chemical process. It offers an exceptional opportunity for science and engineering graduates to obtain a recognised qualification in the Chemical Engineering profession in only one year of full-time study.

Students will learn how to design a chemical process with the knowledge of using common industrial software packages and the ability to define problems and identify constraints in design work. They should also show a good understanding of and appreciate safety, health, environmental, sustainability, economic, and ethical issues in the engineering profession.
