In the Bachelor of Chemical Engineering (Honours) program, you'll begin by developing a strong foundation in chemical engineering principles. The common first year lays a foundation in the basic sciences of mathematics, physics, and chemistry, and introduces the disciplines available to you for further study. You'll learn to apply your developing knowledge of math and science to real-life problems and begin to understand the interaction between engineering and society.

In the second year of the Bachelor of Chemical Engineering (Honours) program you'll gain the necessary background in chemical engineering fundamentals, covering topics such as material and energy balance, mass transfer, heat transfer, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics. These units give you a glimpse of how chemical processes work by combining the knowledge of science and engineering.

When you proceed to level three, you'll be exposed to core topics in chemical engineering, including separation processes, reaction engineering, process design, process control, and more. You will develop knowledge and skills in developing chemical processes through a mix of workshops, case studies, and hands-on experience in laboratory and simulation practice classes.

In the final year of the Bachelor of Chemical Engineering (Honours), you'll undertake a substantial individual or group project to integrate and demonstrate your knowledge in chemical engineering that you have acquired throughout the course in a practical, real-world setting. You'll undertake an independent full-year research project in an area of personal interest. The final year units aim to develop your core professional skills, including the design of chemical equipment and processes, process safety, environmental impact, and economic evaluation.
