Specialist in chemical plant supervising technical process

Chemical Product Engineers are passionate about understanding how products function and perform, as well as how people use and perceive them. They are driven by innovation, constantly envisioning entirely new products and functions that benefit society and contribute to their company’s success.

With a strong focus on product design and development, Chemical Product Engineering offers a fresh and exciting path for chemical engineers. It is highly relevant to both industrial and scientific communities. This career combines technical expertise and entrepreneurial skills to innovate, develop, and design novel chemical and consumer products for both large and small employers. Whether it’s cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, solar cells, or advanced biomedical devices, your ability to understand and meet customer needs will be key to your success.

Chemical Product Engineering is integral to the manufacturing process, focusing on the ideas, design, testing, and prototyping of new industrial products. You will combine in-depth knowledge of chemistry with creativity to solve problems and develop innovative new products and intellectual property.

  • This degree fosters a collaborative and innovative culture, focusing on product design and development rather than just production processes. You will build upon your knowledge of chemical and physical sciences to create products ready for commercialisation in a wide range of fields, including:
    Pharmaceuticals
    Cosmetics
    Agricultural chemicals
    Foods
    Advanced and Biomedical materials

    Â鶹Éçmadou is a research leader in Chemical Product Engineering, and you will benefit from our strong connections with industry. A key feature of the program is Chemical Product Design, providing you with ample opportunities to hone your skills in designing and bringing a product to market. You will develop intellectual property and prototypes through projects proposed and mentored by industry partners. 

    While the core concepts of chemical engineering—unit operations, heat and mass transfer, equilibrium, and thermodynamics—form the foundation of the program, you will also learn how to design products and their manufacturing processes for industries where performance criteria go beyond just chemical composition or purity.
