Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Major)

Stream Outline
Industrial Chemistry involves researching, developing and improving properties of products we use every day through the selection and design of the chemistry employed in industrial processing. It's about taking projects from inception as a research proposal, through product development and on to commercialisation and manufacture.You'll learn how to apply your knowledge engineering and chemistry to design chemical processes and products in environmental management, general industry and services like water delivery. You'll master the entire process, extrapolating small scale, laboratory chemistry into large, industrial scale production. To get work ready, you'll apply these skills through 60 days of approved industry training.

Stream Structure
The courses listed below have to be completed to finish the degree, but the order in which they are taken is important and you need to follow advice on this. 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. You are strongly encouraged to consult the School website and follow the recommended course sequence linked from this page.

The timing of the general education courses and elective courses may be modified to optimise your choice of courses. It is your responsibility to plan your enrolment appropriately. Assistance is available from the School of Chemical Engineering Student Office, should you require it.

All courses listed below are six units of credit, except CEIC4001, CEIC9002 and CEIC9003, which are twelve.

Full time students complete four (24 UOC) courses per semester.

Year 1

Choose ONE of:
And ONE of:
And ONE of:

Some of these courses are offered in multiple semesters, to increase flexibility in the first year. Please seek advice if you are unsure.

Note: Students in BE(Hons)/BSc(Computer Science) dual degree should take COMP1521 as one of their first year electives.

Year 2
And ONE of:

Year 3
  • Professional elective (6 UOC)

Year 4
  • Professional Elective (6 UOC)

Professional Electives
  • CEIC9002 replaces CEIC4002 and one professional elective
  • CEIC9003 replaces CEIC4003 and one professional elective
Note that not all of the courses in this list are available every year.

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.

Professional Recognition
Successful completion of the BE (Hons) (Chemical Engineering) degree program is accepted by Engineers Australia and by the Royal Australian Chemical Institute as sufficient academic qualification for membership.

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.
