Chemical Engineering is one of the cornerstones of engineering education (alongside Civil, Mechanical and Electrical). In broad terms, it is concerned with the application of knowledge from an understanding of how materials and chemicals interact or can be converted in some way to a more useful form as part of some processing, production or refining process.
This unit set information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester. In particular please check the unit and unit set offerings, as these differ according to course delivery location.
All applicants are required to have successfully completed Chemistry ATAR, with equivalents considered.

Chemical engineers work in a wide range of domains from mineral processing, mining, and oil and gas, through to industries associated with clothing, food, packaging, fertilisers, pharmaceuticals and many other manufacturing and biological processes. In Western Australia many chemical engineers find career opportunities in the extensive mining, mineral processing and oil and gas industries that dominate the industrial profile of the state. Chemical Engineers play a central role in both the production, refining and down stream processing in these important resource-based industries.
