Stream Outline
This stream extends over four years and students study full-time during the day for twenty-four weeks of each year (excluding examination and recess periods).
An academic member of staff in the School of Chemical Engineering, as designated by the Head of School, may approve various program patterns involving full-time or part-time study.

Stream Structure
The stream structure below gives one sequence of courses that fulfils the requirements of the major. However, many courses are offered only once per year and others have pre-requisites or exclusions which govern the order in which they can be taken. Both of these things can have a big impact on enrolment planning if poor choices of course combinations are made. Students are strongly encouraged to consult the
School website for advice on course sequences that are consistent with timetabling and availability.
The timing of the elective courses may be modified to optimise the student's choice of courses. It is the students responsibility to plan their enrolments appropriately.
NOTE: It is VERY IMPORTANT to check recommended course sequences as explained under Stream Structure

Industrial Experience Requirements
Students are required to complete a minimum of 60 days of Industrial Training. This requirement is attached to the course CEIC4000 - results are computed but not entered while the Industrial Training requirement is not met.
Further Requirements
Students are expected to possess a calculator having exponential capabilities, however, more advanced calculators and personal computers, will be found useful.
Students of both Chemical Engineering and Industrial Chemistry are advised to have a copy of Perry J H Ed. Chemical Engineers Handbook 6th Ed. McGraw-Hill. This book is used extensively for most courses and units.
