BEng (Chemical Engineering) (Honours) - Available from 01/01/2024 in Melbourne Australia | RMIT University

RMIT's Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical Engineering) (Honours) provides you with the expertise to create eco-friendly processes and products that serve society, industry, and the planet. This chemical engineering program explores how chemical sciences, physics, and biotechnology can optimize industrial operations like water treatment, food manufacturing, and the development of consumer goods such as medicines and personal care items.
You'll master techniques to enhance industrial efficiency while reducing ecological footprints through energy conservation and waste reduction. The program also teaches methods for transforming raw materials like crude oil and minerals into valuable commodities including fuels, polymers, and paper products.
With its strong industry focus, this degree incorporates hands-on learning experiences. Students engage in innovative sustainability projects and participate in the Engineers Without Borders Challenge – a humanitarian initiative embedded in all RMIT engineering programs.
Faculty members maintain active industry partnerships, with professionals regularly contributing to coursework. Multiple work-integrated learning opportunities allow students to apply classroom knowledge in real-world settings while expanding professional connections. The first year features an Engineers Without Borders initiative centered on sustainable solutions, while final-year students complete two comprehensive capstone projects collaborating with industry partners. Students are encouraged to complete a minimum 10-week industry placement between their third and fourth years, though securing this opportunity remains the student's responsibility.
