CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
BACHELOR OF ENG TECH IN CHEMICAL ENG
Course Aim:
COURSE AIM
The aim of the course is to provide excellent theoretical as well as practical chemical engineering knowledge and skills, that will enable graduates to work independently, innovatively apply and modify engineering practices, solve broadly defined engineering problems and give managerial inputs.
Purpose and Rationale of the Qualification
The purpose of the BEng Tech programme is to develop the necessary knowledge, understanding, abilities and skills set required to become a competent, practicing engineering technologist. Specifically, the qualification provides:
Preparation for careers in Chemical Engineering and associated areas that potentially benefit from engineering skills; for achieving technological proficiency; and for making contributions to the economy and national development.
• The educational base required for registration as a Professional Engineering Technologist with ECSA.
• For graduates with an appropriate level of achievement, the ability to enter NQF level 8 programmes and then proceed to Masters Degrees.
Engineering students completing this qualification will demonstrate competence in all the Exit Level Outcomes contained in the Engineering Standard E-02-PT.
Professional Registration
Graduates will comply with the academic requirements for registration as Professional Technologist.
Opportunities:
Chemical Engineering Technologists are employed across a wide range of manufacturing environments such as pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, iron and steel, food and beverages, water, and wastewater. The knowledge and skill acquired by Chemical Engineering Technologists are also required to prevent harmful pollutants from escaping into the soil, water, and air, therefore additional career avenues exist within the field of environmental management. Graduates are not limited to formal employment areas – they also make good entrepreneurs! In addition to this, they may also find challenging opportunities in teaching and/or research.
