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.

Part C. Chemical engineering knowledge and application108 credit points
Note 1: If you complete CHM1011, CHM1051 or CHE2161 as a First Year breadth study unit, it will count towards your chemical engineering study. You must still fulfil the First Year engineering breadth study requirement by completing another breadth study unit.
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 D. Professional practice
The Engineering Accreditation Council Malaysia have similar industrial training requirements. You must enrol in ENG0002 in the second semester of your third year and complete the industrial training required if you are studying at the Malaysia campus.
Part E. Elective study - Specialisation36 credit points
Students enrolled in the single degree Engineering
36 credit pointsIn Year 2, you must complete 12 credit points of electives which can be Level 1, 2 or 3 units from Engineering or other faculties, subject to meeting the unit enrolment rules. Please ensure that you adhere to the course rules regarding Level 1 units and do not exceed the maximum 60 credit points allowed.
In Years 3 and 4, you must complete 24 credit points of electives which must be Level 3 or 4 units and from your engineering specialisation technical electives list. You may also enrol in up to two Level 5 units in your final year. If you intend to enrol in the Faculty's Master of Engineering post-graduate, completing Level 5 units that are core in the Master's course will reduce the total duration of your Master's study.
Chemical engineering technical electives
36 credit pointsOption 1: You may use your electives to complete a complementary engineering minor that is available with your specialisation. This allows you to further enhance your knowledge and skills in a specific area of engineering that complements your main field of study.
Option 2: You may consider engineering technical units listed across the engineering minors, subject to meeting the unit prerequisite or co-requisite rules. This will allow you to tailor your studies and broaden your knowledge within the field of engineering while still aligning with your chosen specialisation.
Note: To enrol in a Level 5 unit listed below, you must be in your final year and have a weighted average mark (WAM) of 65 or above at the conclusion of 3rd Year.

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours): Continuous Professional Development (CPD)
CPD is a compulsory requirement for all Engineering students. You must complete 420 hours of continuous professional development in order to graduate with the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) qualification. It is a collection of all work including volunteer, personal and professional practice experiences outside the classroom which may be in the form of 12 weeks of relevant vacation employment or an equivalent combination of approved professional development and/or engineering employment taken throughout the duration of the course. You must submit a series of reflections on your experience with particular reference to the development of each of the key Engineers Australia Stage 1 competencies. Visit the Student Experience website for more information about professional development.
The Engineering Accreditation Council Malaysia has similar professional experience requirements. Further information is available on the Industrial training website.
