Chemical and Petrochemical Engineering

  • Chemical and Petrochemical Engineering |
  • Language of Study: English

Program Description

Chemical and Petrochemical engineering is concerned with processes in which matter and energy undergo change. The range of concerns is so broad that the chemical and Petrochemical engineering graduate is prepared for a variety of interesting and challenging employment opportunities. The chemical engineer with a strong background in sciences is found in management, design, operations, and research. The chemical engineer is employed in almost all industries, including food, polymers, chemicals, petrochemicals, natural gas, pharmaceuticals, petroleum, medicine, materials, and electronics. Since solutions to energy, environmental, and food problems must surely involve chemical changes, there will be continued demands for chemical engineers in the future.

Learning Outcomes

  • As specified by the accrediting body, engineering programs assure that their students will be able to: 1. Apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering; 2. Design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data; 3. Design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability; 4. Function on multidisciplinary teams; 5. Identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems; 6. Demonstrate professional and ethical responsibility; 7. Communicate effectively; 8. Use the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context; 9. Recognize the need for, and an ability to engage in, life-long learning; 10. Discuss contemporary issues; 11. Use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools, necessary for engineering practice; 12. Demonstrate knowledge of hazards associated with chemical, biological and physical processes and be able to recognize, evaluate, minimize and control these hazards.

Markets and Career

  • The expansions taking place in petroleum & petrochemical projects in Egypt (Alamein and Red Sea areas) and in neighbouring Arab countries and the Middle East offers a prospectus future for chemical and petrochemical engineers.
