Chemical Engineering is a discipline which uses the knowledge of several different areas of science and technology to understand and manage chemical-physical transformations. Chemical engineering applies to changing raw materials into products, providing services and preventing or mitigating polluting effects.

Chemical Engineers conceive and design processes to produce, transform and transport materials

Chemical Engineers work across a large variety of sectors, including: Oil and Gas, Chemicals, Biotechnologies, Pharmaceuticals, Electronics, Food and drink, Energy and Environment.  

Chemical Engineer is a specialist able to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering to transform raw materials into valuable products in a clean, safe and cost-effective way.

The mission of the program in Chemical Engineering is to develop a multi-scale approach for the materials transformation, from lab scale to full- industrial scale. The program’s core mission is reflected in its curriculum, which is built on a foundation in the sciences of chemistry, physics and biology. Course work includes the study of applied mathematics, material and energy balances, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, energy and mass transfer, separations technologies, chemical reaction kinetics and reactor design, and process design. The program provides students with excellent preparation for careers in the corporate and government sectors, or for advanced study.
