ENGINEERING
BACHELOR OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING ( HONOURS )
KPT / JPT ( R2 / 524 / 6 / 0045 ) 03 / 27 - MQA / FA4650
Chemical engineers play a leading role in the development of renewable energy technologies and creating more sustainable processes and products .
Many everyday items involve chemical engineering during some stage of their production – electronic devices , food and beverage , petrol , paper , pharmaceuticals , cosmetics , to name just a few . As a chemical engineer , you ’ ll invent , develop , design and improve processes that convert raw materials into useful products , with minimal environmental impact . Whether you focus on developing future energy solutions , controlling pollution or protecting our environment , your future as a chemical engineer is bright .
At Monash , practical work is an essential part of many units , and management studies are introduced to provide you with adequate knowledge on how to manage projects . You ’ ll also have the opportunity to integrate industrial experience or time at a university abroad with your studies .
Course highlights
• Monash is the first in Malaysia and Australia to introduce fourth industrial revolution concepts and practices in the undergraduate curriculum for chemical engineering .
• 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 .
Career options
As a chemical engineer , you can :
• develop alternative fuels and renewable sources for chemicals , pharmaceuticals and power production
• design , develop or improve industrial processes and equipment for large-scale chemical and biochemical manufacturing
• plan and test methods of manufacturing
• improve energy efficiency or reduce water and resource consumption at manufacturing sites
• develop sustainable methods for the treatment of byproducts and waste from manufacturing processes
• devise green production processes that are safe , effcient , profitable and environmentally sound
• research naturally-occurring chemical reactions so that these processes can be copied for human benefit
• conduct environmental impact studies
• develop and implement lower emission production technologies
• research and develop new processes and products including mathematical modelling
• design , develop and use advanced and renewable materials .
BACHELOR OF CIVIL ENGINEERING ( HONOURS )
KPT / JPT ( R / 520 / 6 / 0039 ) 01 / 23 - MQA / FA8848
Civil engineers design and improve infrastructure systems and processes that allow humans and nature to coexist with minimal impact .
Modern society couldn ’ t function without them . We need civil engineers to design and build higher-capacity transportation systems . We need them to construct larger commercial and industrial complexes . We need them for water supply and pollution control . We need efficient , cost-effective and innovative repair or replacement of civil infrastructure such as roads , bridges and buildings .
At Monash , we help you prepare for your civil engineering career early , with a focus on the fundamentals and a taste of industry experience through opportunities in the major fields .
Course highlight
• Delve into industry-driven and research-oriented projects .
Career paths
You ’ ll find challenging and rewarding opportunities in the following areas :
• government infrastructure projects
• water and wastewater industries
• construction and mining
• roads and traffic industries
• marine and resort developments
• property and land development
• consulting firms .
Monash equipped me with both the technical knowledge and leadership qualities , such as resilience and delegation , which have been critical for my career .”
DR NICHOLAS LOW
Bachelor of Chemical Engineering ( Honours ) Acting Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer , 2D Water Pty Ltd
Nicholas went on to receive his PhD degree from Monash Australia , where he worked with his supervisor and research colleagues on developing a chlorine-resistant membrane , a technology that helps to desalinate seawater at a lower cost . The new technology was licensed for commercialisation to 2D Water , a Monash start-up company , with the potential to make a profound difference in the availability of potable water in many places where clean drinking water is often unavailable . Nicholas is currently working on setting up the company ’ s first pilot-scale membrane production plant in 2021 .
