Requisite map
Overview
Chemical engineers transform raw materials into useful and commercial end products. This involves the research of raw materials and their properties, design and development of equipment and the evaluation of operating processes. You will acquire skills, knowledge and experience in chemistry and chemical thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, material and energy balances, as well as particle technology and process design.
In this specialisation, you will have the opportunity to also pursue a minor in an engineering discipline that complements chemical engineering.
Availability
Chemical engineering is listed in E3001 Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) at Clayton and Malaysia as an undergraduate specialisation.

You must complete the following core chemical engineering units.
NOTE 1: You may choose to complete CHM1051 in place of core unit CHM1011. If you have completed either CHM unit as a First Year technical elective, you must replace this CHM core with another unit at the same level or higher from the chemical engineering technical electives list.
NOTE 2: If you are studying E3008 Engineering and Pharmaceutical Science double degree course, you will not complete CHM1011/CHM1051. Please refer to the information below for the specific replacement unit.

Part E. Elective study - Specialisation36 credit points
Studying single degree engineering
36 credit pointsIn single degree engineering, you must complete 36 credit points of elective study after Year 1. In Year 2, the 12 points of electives can be level 1, 2 or 3 units from engineering or other faculties.
In Years 3 and 4, the 24 points of electives must be level 3, 4 or 5 units and from your engineering specialisation technical electives list.
Electives must be completed at the required unit level to satisfy the course requirements. You may also use the elective study to complete an engineering minor that will complement your specialisation (This option is available only in Clayton).

Industry 4.0
Industry 4.0 refers to the fourth industrial revolution that is giving rise to the transformative digital industrial technologies connecting the physical world with the digital world. You are encouraged to select ECE2071, ECE2131 and TRC3500 in your electives if you are seeking to broaden your skills needed for the jobs of the future.
Studying a double degree with engineering
The 36 credit points of specialisation technical electives normally required in the single degree have been credited towards the double degree structure and therefore not a requirement in the double degree course.
