BEng (Hons) Chemical Engineering

Isaac Asimov observed, "Science can amuse and fascinate us all, but engineering changes the world! In the past, chemical engineering has quietly (or sometimes noisily!) served society's material and energy needs. But in the 21st century, in the face of global challenges of climate change and fossil fuel depletion, the market is for chemical engineers to change the world by changing how we meet our food, water, energy, and materials needs. In particular, we need to do this in more joined-up ways that produce the right products more cleverly and effectively, understanding the full environmental implications of processing choices and exploiting interactions for efficiency to give minimum impact and maximum benefit. Our Chemical Engineering BEng(Hons) course, accredited by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE), provides in-depth coverage of modern, industry-relevant chemical engineering material from the fundamentals to process design. Chemical engineering can be viewed as the most applied science with opportunities to make a difference in the world. Chemical engineers transform the visions of chemists and biochemists into industrial-scale reality to make the benefits of new products and processes available to the world.
