Chemical Process Engineering - B.Sc
Certificate: Bachelor's degree of Science in Chemical Engineering, specializing in Chemical Process Engineering.
Chemical Process Engineering, one of the branches of chemical engineering and engineering science specializing in designing and developing chemical or transformational industrial processes. It is also concerned with building, designing, and managing factories in which the necessary process is chemical reactions.
Chemical Process Engineering specialization is one of the most important disciplines that enter all aspects of our life due to the continuous need for the fields included in this specialization. The graduates from this major can achieve their success to which they aspire to. Many areas enable the graduates to innovate and brilliance because this major is one of the engineering specializations that is widely required for a variety of professions and industries. Their specialization is also included in the Manufacture of many materials such as chemical, petrochemical, construction, food and pharmaceutical industries, and other industries such as paper, dyes, and water treatment. The Chemical Process Engineering branch graduates can also work in oil refineries and petrochemical complexes, as it is considered one of the primary applications of his specialization. The student of the Chemical Process Engineering Branch studies a large number of materials during the school years that contribute to strengthening his/her strength in this specialization, and the most prominent of these materials are chemical reactors, mass transfer, industrial units, heat transfer equipment, materials engineering, industrial management, project planning, and others. These courses will improve the student's knowledge of this wonderful specialization.
Work fields for chemical process engineering graduates:
