CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
DIPLOMA IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING (ECP)
Course Aim:
The aim of the course is to provide excellent theoretical as well as practical chemical engineering knowledge and skills, relevant to the needs of the chemical industry and society at large. Graduates of this programme will have the competence to apply engineering skills to chemical engineering problems and plant operations.
In the Extended Curriculum with Foundational Provision Programme, first-year subjects of the Diploma are spread over two years (Year 0 and 1), allowing a more supportive academic environment. On completion of the two-year Foundational Programme, students will integrate with the normal programme.
Purpose and Rationale of the Qualification
This qualification is intended for process or chemical engineering technicians working in the process-related industries. Learners achieving this qualification have the competence to apply existing process technology to chemical engineering problems in chemical processes and plant operations.
Professional Registration
Graduates will comply with the academic requirements for registration as Professional Technicians.
Opportunities:
Graduates play an important role in process operations, management, research and development, as well as in environmental management. Employment is found in a wide range of industries including food processing, wine production, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, fertilisers, fuel technology, oil refining, minerals processing, chemical manufacturing, and synthetic fibres. Employment opportunities also exist in government and higher education institutions.
Admission requirements:
Minimum Admission Requirements:
Subject to the space availability, consideration will be given for admitting students to the ECP programmes with: English 50%; with one of either Mathematics or Physical Science 50%, and the other with a minimum of 45%.
Meeting these requirements does not automatically imply that applicants will be accepted. First option for admission, selection and placement will be given.
