Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical Engineering) (Honours)/Bachelor of Science (Extractive Metallurgy)

Curtin University

Chemical engineering uses chemistry, physics and mathematics to convert raw materials or chemicals into more useful or valuable forms and extractive metallurgy is involved in plant design, development, operations and control, management and research. In this course you’ll gain the specialist science and engineering skills for careers in plant design, development, operations and control, management and research. In this course, you will explore the development, design and operation of processes for the extraction, conversion and recovery of materials. You'll study minerals processing, hydrometallurgy and pyrometallurgy and, following your Engineering Foundation Year, you’ll specialise in biosystems engineering, chemical engineering or oil and gas. This course also covers environmental considerations and mine finance and management. You'll complete at least 12 weeks of exposure to professional engineering practice. This course is accredited by Engineers Australia and the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE), and recognised internationally. Graduates may be eligible for membership of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM).
