BEng (Honours) (Chemical Engineering) in Bentley Australia | Curtin University

Chemical or process engineering focuses on determining the optimal series of chemical and physical processing steps, along with ideal operating parameters, to transform raw materials into more valuable products.

This field encompasses creating, planning, and overseeing processes and machinery for extracting, transforming, and enhancing materials through physical, chemical, and biological methods. Various process industries cater to diverse societal requirements.

This major offers specialization in either Chemical Engineering or Oil and Gas.

Chemical Engineering

In this broad specialization, you'll study chemical engineering techniques applicable to multiple materials. The curriculum covers theoretical principles and practical uses of fluid dynamics, heat transfer, separation processes, and chemical reactions for designing, controlling, and improving general chemical processes.

Oil and Gas

Beyond core chemical engineering principles, this stream provides in-depth understanding of oil and gas resource exploration and development. You'll investigate hydrocarbon reservoir characteristics, offshore drilling operations, crude oil refining, and natural gas processing techniques.
