Chemical Engineering programs at Curtin University of Technology cover the development, design and operation of processes and
plant for the extraction, conversion and recovery of materials that are found in a great variety of process industries serving the needs
of society. Among the more familiar industries are petroleum refining, gas processing, palm oil mills, petrochemical and polymer
production, fertilizer manufacture, cement and lime production, minerals and metals extraction and refining, paper and board
manufacture, sugar refining, food processing, production of industrial, and pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. A graduate in
chemical engineering may expect to find employment with process and plant design companies or within the manufacturing industries
to manage, operate, maintain and develop processes and plant for the efficient production of materials. Other opportunities for employment are afforded in public utilities and authorities, research laboratories, academic institutions and consulting practices.
The Chemical Engineering courses currently available at the Sarawak campus are the same as the courses operated at the
University's main campus in Perth Australia. Students studying these courses at Sarawak also have the opportunity to spend
one or more semesters in Perth at their own choice with no disruption whatsoever to their studies whilst at the same time Perth
students have the opportunity to study for a semester in Sarawak. We offer the Bachelor of Engineering (honours) degree in Chemical Engineering, which is fully accredited by national and international Professional Bodies, namely Board of Engineers Malaysia,
Engineers Australia and the Institution of Chemical Engineers, UK. We also offer postgraduate studies (Master and PhD) by research.
