Prepare to meet tomorrow's challenges in new and novel ways when you combine engineering skills with design thinking in this unique dual program. Through the Bachelor of Design, youll learn to challenge conventional thinking and bring a different mindset to problems. With a focus on solutions-based thinking, youll gain practical skills in hands-on studio-based courses and expand your career options. Complement your design studies with technical knowledge through the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), where youll benefit from hands-on experiences across all aspects of engineering, more study options for greater career opportunities, and direct contact with industry your future employers threaded throughout your degree. Youll develop technical skills through a core specialisation, which will form the basis of your career. Choose from either chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, mechatronic engineering or software engineering. Graduate with a respected honours qualification, advanced knowledge and leadership skills that will set you apart in a competitive job market and provide a pathway to future research or learning.<br><br>Chemical engineers invent, design, and manage products and processes that transform raw materials into valuable products using the latest knowledge of biology, chemistry and physics to ensure minimum loss of materials and consumption of energy. This value-adding must be safe, economical and environmentally sound. It is a rapidly changing profession with chemical engineers working at the cutting-edge of fields such as molecular biology, nano-materials and chemistry, physics, mathematics and information technology. Chemical engineers design both products and the processes needed for their commercial-scale production. They also manage operation and optimisation of these processes to produce such products as petrol, plastics, instant coffee, pharmaceuticals, and artificial blood. Tailor your specialisation in chemical engineering with majors or minors that meet your interests and career goals. Chemical engineering offers these options: Majors Biomedical engineering Bioprocess engineering Environmental engineering Materials engineering Metallurgical engineering Minors Computing Data science Design.
