Prepare for a career in sustainable engineering, one of the top 25 emerging fields in Australia (National Skills Commission, 2021). Develop, design and optimise industrial processes for the manufacture of a huge range of outputs including energy, chemicals, materials, foods, bioproducts and consumer goods. Combine engineering, chemistry, circular economy and business principles to design sustainable processes to turn raw materials into useful products. Gain hands-on experience with site visits, work integrated learning, research projects and assessments aligned with real industrial scenarios. Graduate with a qualification in chemical and process engineering. You'll learn from experienced professional engineers and scientists that will activate your learning with hands-on experiments, modelling and analysis. Work Integrated Learning (WIL) is embedded in the curriculum and it is a core component for all engineering students. WIL allows you to graduate with a portfolio of professional skills that provides evidence of your professional competencies. You are required to undertake 60 days of approved work experience in the engineering environment as part of your work integrated learning. In your final year project, you'll take part in workshop-style classes where you will collaboratively produce 'green chemical engineering' solutions for real-world industries such as water desalination plants and paper companies. Why choose this course? You'll graduate with a qualification in chemical and process engineering, which are highly recognised by industry. You'll apply your chemistry, maths and physics knowledge to the energy, mining, materials and manufacturing sectors of the economy. Throughout your study you'll have access to opportunities for site visits, work integrated learning and research projects. Step into your first job with confidence backed by strong project management and leadership skills, ready to approach complex and multidisciplinary challenges. All graduates are eligible for an Engineers Australia (EA) membership. EA is a signatory to the Washington Accord, which permits graduates to work in various countries across the world. This course is recognised internationally in the engineering profession, giving QUT graduates more career opportunities overseas. Careers and outcomes An engineer who specialises in chemical and sustainable process develops and optimises industrial processes to make the huge range of products on which modern society depends. Chemical process engineers have an understanding of the chemistry and physics required for these processes, the related equipment and how to integrate many individual operations into an integrated factory.
