Unit Set Information

Chemical Engineering Specialisation

Effective from 01-JAN-2025 : Code SPAAUH

This specialisation within the Master of Technology is designed for students interested in chemical engineering and provides the foundations for a broad range of engineering technologist careers in chemical engineering aligned industries, both in Australia and internationally, or for further studies towards an accredited chemical engineering qualification. This unit set provides graduates with knowledge of how materials and chemicals interact, or can be converted in some way to a more useful form, as part of a processing, production or refining process.

Employment Opportunities

Chemical engineers/technologists 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. Many chemical engineers/technologists find career opportunities in the extensive mining, mineral processing, and oil and gas industries that dominate the industrial profile of the state. Chemical engineers/technologists play a central role in both the production, refining and down stream processing in these important resource-based industries.
