US6524001 - Bachelor of Chemical Engineering with Honours

  • OVERVIEW

    Chemical engineering combines principles of chemistry, physics, mathematics, biology, and economics to transform raw materials into useful products. Chemical engineers are involved in the design, construction, and operation of plants that involve chemical reactions. This field encompasses process design, material production, research and development, as well as safety and environmental aspects. Chemical engineers require deep knowledge in science and strong analytical and problem-solving skills. They also need to work in teams and communicate effectively to solve complex technical problems.
