CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
KPT / JPT( R / 524 / 6 / 0045) 03 / 27- MQA / FA4650
4 years February, July and October
Chemical engineers play a leading role in the development of renewable energy technologies and creating more sustainable processes and products.
Many everyday items from electronic devices to food and beverages, petrol, paper, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics involve chemical engineering at some stage of their production. As a chemical engineer, you’ ll invent, develop, design, and improve processes that convert raw materials into useful products. Additionally, you’ ll strive to create and optimise processes that are environmentally sustainable, with the goal of reducing waste, energy consumption, and emissions. Your work will contribute to a more sustainable future by developing cleaner and more efficient technologies.
At Monash, practical work is an integral part of the chemical engineering curriculum. This hands-on approach allows you to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world situations and gain valuable experience in the field. Through practical projects, you’ ll develop problem-solving skills, critical thinking abilities, project management skills, and a deeper understanding of the principles of chemical engineering.

COURSE HIGHLIGHTS
• Monash is the first in Malaysia and Australia to introduce fourth industrial revolution concepts and practices in the undergraduate chemical engineering curriculum.
• Address global challenges with a degree that responds to changing food, energy, environment and water needs.
• Enhance your employability with hands-on experience at Monash’ s pilot plant facility.
RECOMMENDATION Complete Chemistry 1 advanced at level one.
CAREER PATHS Your knowledge can be applied across many sectors, including:
• environmental protection and recycling
• food and beverage
• fuel
• oil and gas
• oleochemicals
• pharmaceuticals
• polymer and plastics
• renewable energy
• semiconductors
• toiletries and cosmetics
• water treatment.
I have a passion for exploring the different facets of sustainability and innovation. I participated in the Monash’ s Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program( UROP) and investigated the recycling potential of waste electric vehicle batteries in Malaysia through literature-based research, and I’ m currently completing my final-year project focusing on e-waste management. UROP improved my research skills, provided an insight of the nature of research work, and reinforced my aspiration to pursue postgraduate studies.”
