The course in brief

Presentation

The course provides the technical foundations proper to the Chemical and Process Engineer through a theoretical and applied preparation at the same time. The course focuses on the study at the macroscopic level of transformation processes leading from raw materials to the finished product and based on elementary chemical-physical phenomena and a limited number of unit operations.

After the pathway, one is able to deal with the technological and managerial issues required by industry in the chemical process, energy and materials sectors while complying with safety and environmental protection regulations.

Learning by doing

The course includes classroom lectures, numerical exercises, computer labs, experimental chemical engineering laboratories, visits to plants and research centers, Erasmus abroad experience, seminars, experimental and/or computational theses, and internships in industry.

Professional outlets

The extensive basic training allows for employment in:

.
  • chemical, conventional and innovative energy production, food and pharmaceutical industries
  • companies for production, processing, transportation and storage of substances and materials
  • industrial laboratories
  • public administration

What you will learn

  • the chemical and physical transformations of matter

    The structure and properties of components, kinetics and chemical equilibrium

  • unit operations and chemical reactors

    the units that make up all the processes

  • budgets at the macro level

    Transport of matter, energy and momentum

  • the behavior of materials

    the properties and applications of metals, polymers and ceramic materials

  • The design of systems and equipment

    The technical, economic, safety and environmental constraints

  • english for chemical engineering

    technical terminology

Did you know that.

  • Chemical engineer is one of the three most sought-after profiles in the job market
  • 63% of students graduate on course
  • The course has the international high quality accreditation EUR-ACE
  • The small number of enrollees encourages personalized training
  • Experience abroad is aided by the wide range of Erasmus exchanges on offer
  • There is a support program for first-year students

The simplicity of the complex

The course responds to the demand from industry for young engineers to address chemical, environmental and process technology issues in complex industrial settings that require a broad overview without specific specializations.

Course structure

Comprehensive analysis of transformation processes based on elementary phenomena and fundamental operations is needed to safely produce material goods, energy, services, and preventive and control actions on environmental impact.

This end is pursued through the study of the methodological and operational aspects of the disciplines:

  • basic:mathematical analysis, geometry, physics, chemistry, and computer science
  • typical of industrial engineering:drawing, machinery, electrical engineering, materials science and technology, construction science, and technical physics
  • strongly characterizing chemical and process engineering: thermodynamics, heat and matter exchange, industrial and technological chemistry, fluid dynamics, process development, chemical plant engineering
