Course Overview

The field of chemical engineering deals with the creation, development, and design of processes for the production, transformation, or transportation of materials and products. In order to study problems and create answers for concerns like sustainability, efficiency, and safety, it integrates information from the natural, experimental, and biological sciences with elements of mathematics and economics. Chemical engineers create and oversee industrial processes that transform raw materials into the most valuable products, as well as equipment for chemical manufacturing. They are also pioneers of novel materials and technologies of the future.

Chemical engineers address important societal issues in industry, sustainability, human health, and energy. They build safe equipment, strong chemical plants, and sustainable industrial processes using their understanding of material and energy balances, heat and mass transfer, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, separation technologies, chemical reaction kinetics, reactor design, and process design.

Numerous fascinating employment choices are available to those with a degree in chemical engineering. Petroleum refining, plastics, paint, energy, textiles, food processing, cosmetics, biotechnology, water treatment, medicines, and environmental engineering are among the industries that hire chemical engineers.

The Sunway University Bachelor of Chemical Engineering with Honours (BEng Hons) degree is recognised as equivalent to that of Lancaster University's Master of Engineering Chemical Engineering with Honours (MEng Hons) degree. Upon successfully completing the programme, Sunway University BEng Hons degree graduates will also be awarded the MEng Hons degree from Lancaster University. They will be awarded two certificates, making them graduates of both Sunway University and Lancaster University.
