Description

Chemical Engineering is an important discipline concerned with the design and operation of processes for making a wide range of products on which everyone’s standard of living depends. These include food, pharmaceuticals, fuels, plastics and the basic materials for high technology
industries.

Once a chemical, biological or physical process has been successfully accomplished at concept stage, professional engineering skills are required to translate it into industrial practice while ensuring process optimisation, environmental management, energy conservation and workplace safety.

Career Opportunities

With its coverage of chemical engineering principles, Diploma in Chemical Engineering graduates are well poised to transition directly into employment, pursuing a variety of job roles. Possible job titles relevant to this qualification include assistant production managers, lab technicians, structural
engineers, process development offi cers, design and control offi cers, assistant project development managers, environmental and energy management offi cers, research and development offi cers, and technical sales / marketing officers.

Graduates can also consider upgrading their knowledge and skills by articulating into a range of degree programmes and depending on units/electives completed during their studies, students may be eligible to apply for advanced standing.
