化学工程学科主要涉及材料和化学物质如何相互作用的知识的应用，或者可以作为加工，生产或精炼过程的一部分以某种方式转换为更有用的形式。化学工程师的工作范围很广，从矿物加工，采矿，石油和天然气到与服装，食品，包装，化肥，制药以及许多其他制造和生物过程相关的行业。与学校的所有工程计划一样，化学工程计划侧重于与专业工程实践相关的知识和技能的开发，并具有扎实的理论基础，包括解决实际问题，团队合作和项目开发的强大要素。结果，毕业生将获得强大的分析能力，并能够领导复杂的项目，并具有多种技术和可转让的技能能力。
The chemical engineering discipline is principally concerned with the application of 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 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 processesThe program focuses on the development of knowledge and skills relevant to professional engineering practice and along with a sound theoretical base includes strong elements of practical problem solving teamwork and project development As a result graduates will gain strong analytical skills and have the ability to lead complex projects as well as having multiple technical and transferable skill competenciesCourse learning outcomesDemonstrate advanced knowledge of the underpinning natural and physical sciences and in depth understanding of specialist bodies of knowledge within the chemical engineering disciplineThink critically and apply established engineering methods and research skills to complex chemical engineering problem solvingApply systematic engineering synthesis and design processes to conduct and manage engineering projects with some intellectual independenceDemonstrate conceptual understanding of the mathematics numerical analysis statistics and computer and information sciences which underpin the chemical engineering discipline and fluently apply engineering techniques tools and resourcesDemonstrate clear and coherent oral and written communication in professional and lay domainsDemonstrate a global outlook and knowledge of contextual factors impacting the engineering discipline including respect for cultural diversity and indigenous cultural competenceDemonstrate effective team membership and team leadership to implement engineering projects according to relevant standards of ethical conduct sustainable practice and professional accountabilityDemonstrate responsibility for own learning professional judgement and an understanding of the scope principles norms accountabilities and bounds of contemporary engineering practice
