Chemical and bioprocess engineering is the industrial processing of raw materials to higher-value products through combinations of physical, chemical or biochemical action. These processes can be very diverse. Chemical and bioprocess engineers design, optimise and operate these processes. Examples include the fermentation of sugars to alcohol, production of pharmaceutical products, extraction of high-value compounds, composting of organic waste, conversion of milk solids to dairy ingredients and conversion of wood into paper among others. The Bachelor of Engineering with Honours (Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering) will equip students with core chemical engineering skills for more traditional industries and there is also a focus on innovative approaches such as nanotechnologies, biocatalysts, and clean processing techniques.
