Program Description
Chemical engineering is a branch of engineering that combines principles of chemistry, physics, mathematics, biology, and economics to efficiently use, produce, design, transport, and transform energy and materials. Chemical engineers play a crucial role in developing processes and systems for large-scale manufacturing, ensuring the safe and sustainable production of a wide range of products, from chemicals and pharmaceuticals to food and energy. The field of chemical engineering continues to evolve with advancements in technology, sustainability, and globalisation. Chemical engineers contribute to the development of innovative solutions for a variety of industries, addressing challenges related to efficiency, safety, and environmental impact. Their work is essential in shaping the modern world and improving the quality of life through the sustainable production of
goods and services.
