Chemical and Sustainable Processes Engineering Politecnico di Torino

Overview

The curriculum will provide the necessary knowledge supplements of technical-scientific and mathematical nature on numerical methods, computational fluid dynamics, advanced transport phenomena, multiphase chemical reactors, dispersed systems and molecular modelling. 

Key facts

• The transfer of energy, and matter and momentum in complex inter-phase systems will be studied in its foundations and applied to the design of separation equipment and multiphase chemical reactors. 
• Particular attention will be devoted to the study of the behaviour of finely dispersed systems such as emulsions and suspensions, the physics of turbulence and its applications in computational fluid dynamics to solve complex problems in the processing industry. 
• Career opportunities
• MSc graduates of the Chemical and Sustainable Processes Engineering programme at Politecnico di Torino  will find employment opportunities in managing positions in the chemical, petrochemical, food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics, production and processing of materials sectors; and also in industrial laboratories; or in technical departments of public administration.The following career opportunities tend to be grouped into the mentioned domains:

• in engineering companies engaged in design, supervision and construction of industrial production plants;

• in public and private research centres as employee and/or research and development coordinator;

• in companies involved in the industrial processing of matter (so called chemical industry, petroleum and petrochemical, metallurgical, pharmaceutical, food, etc.) for the supervision of production plants. In the same companies the engineer may also be called to manage their environmental and security issues;

• in service companies and public administration as a technical coordinator

• in the consulting and expert advice activities to companies and groups that do not internally have the specific skills.

• in companies that produce, process and develop materials applicable in various industrial fields such as the chemical, mechanical, electrical, electronics, telecommunications, energy, construction, transport, biomedical and preservation of cultural heritage.
