RMIT University

Bachelor of Engineering - Chemical Engineering (Honours) / Bachelor of Business - Management

RMIT University

Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00122A

Chemical engineering science, practice, and design are combined with core management principles to give you the ability to work at all levels of industry.

Structure

Year 1Most of the first-year subjects are completed by all engineering students encompassing general science, mathematics, digital fundamentals and computer aided design. In the second semester you’re introduced to chemical engineering and the role of chemical engineers in different industry sectors and society.All engineering students will also study a Professional Engineering Practice course, incorporating a humanitarian-focused Engineers Without Borders Challenge. You’ll have the opportunity to extend this aspect of your studies by completing an Engineers Without Borders elective, enabling you to experience humanitarian engineering first-hand.Year 2You are introduced to the fundamentals of chemical engineering (mass and energy balances) and the design of chemical processes. You will develop your knowledge of core chemical engineering areas such as fluid flow, reaction engineering, biochemical engineering, thermodynamics, and heat transfer.Year 3You’ll focus on business studies and be introduced to core business concepts and analysis skills, which you'll build on in the areas of human resources and employment relations, ethics and governance, international business, entrepreneurship, logistics and supply chain management and marketing.Year 4You’ll hone your skills in environmental, safety and economic analysis of processes, design of process equipment, and control schemes.Your core chemical engineering skills are consolidated and applied in a major process design project. In your fourth and fifth years you’ll specialise in environmental, polymer or interface engineering. Year 5Your final-year (capstone) project will develop and reinforce the skills and knowledge you need - as defined by Engineers Australia - to commence your professional engineering career. You may have the opportunity to present your project at EnGenius, an end of year student showcase event.You’ll also complete a work-integrated learning (industry experience) elective in Year 2, 4 or 5.

Recognition

This program is fully accredited by Engineers Australia. Graduates of the program are eligible for graduate membership of Engineers Australia. Full membership as a professional engineer may be obtained after an appropriate period of professional practice. Australia is one of 15 countries that are signatories to the International Engineering Alliance, also known as the Washington Accord, for professional engineers. The qualification of graduates from this degree is recognised in all countries that are signatories to the Accord. The Institution of Chemical Engineers, based in UK, is the primary international professional society for the chemical engineer. The double degree is accredited by IChemE (UK) at the MEng level. Students may also be able to obtain professional membership of the Australian Human Resources Institute (AHRI) or CPA Australia by selecting appropriate minor studies.
