Overview

Developing the processes that convert commodities into finished products, decreasing the use of scarce natural resources and fossil fuels and replacing them with renewable alternatives, turning waste into new products, minimizing emissions and developing the next generation of exhaust after-treatment and renewable fuels. These are some examples of where Chemical engineers play a central role in developing the processes and products needed for the transition to a sustainable society. This Innovative and Sustainable Chemical Engineering programme is offered at the Chalmers University of Technology.

The courses cover the basis of sustainable technology, the production of renewable materials and the efficient use of energy. More in-depth knowledge is obtained through three profile tracks within the programme: Sustainable development, Modelling and Design and Pulp and paper. Biorefinery, CFD- Computational Fluid Dynamics and Process Analytical Technology are examples of courses focusing on emerging fields for Chemical Engineers.

After the programme you will have:

Comprehensive knowledge of chemical engineering subjects central to the production of materials and energy. The ability to design and evaluate sustainable and innovative processes and systems.
The ability to plan, perform and evaluate experiments on the lab, pilot and plant scale.
Competence in performing and critically analysing advanced technical modelling and simulations of chemical phenomena and processes.
Develop new sustainable chemical products and processes
Identify environmental and sustainability limitations of processes
Develop processes for producing chemicals and energy from renewable materials

Career

Many traditional industrial sectors recruit students who graduate from this programme; some examples include pulp and paper, petrochemical, food and biotechnology, pharmaceutical, energy and consultancy companies. Many new areas have emerged in the grey area between chemical engineering and other fields of engineering and science, and graduates of Innovative and Sustainable Chemical Engineering have many new and exciting career opportunities in a wide range of fields.

Following graduation, students are qualified to work within research and the development of innovative and sustainable products and processes, production and process technology and advanced technical support. In general, they work as project managers or experts on teams to develop new products and processes or as process engineers responsible for operating large processes.
