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 .”
