The UNSW School of Chemical Engineering teaches students to look at the essence of the products we use every day, with the aim of reimagining and improving their manufacture and use. They learn to combine problem-solving with design-thinking to do everything from producing sustainable and nutritious food, engineering the next generation of medicine, to decarbonising industry by developing green energy technologies and solutions that scale.
We see the world as one big design challenge that can be solved on a microscopic level and universally implemented. Together, we create innovations that continue to transform modern life from the chemical up.
UNSW is located on the unceded territory of the Bidjigal (Kensington campus), Gadigal (City and Paddington Campuses) and Ngunnawal peoples (UNSW Canberra) who are the Traditional Owners of the lands where each campus of UNSW is situated.
The Faculty of Engineering has an excellent global academic reputation, and is ranked 14th in the world for Civil and Structural Engineering and 42nd in the world for Computer Science as per the 2020 QS World University Rankings by Subject.[1][2]
Initially engineering classes were taught in The Quad, however in 1909 the P. N. Russell School of Engineering was completed.[3] This building, an outcome of the P. N. Russell benefactions was formally opened by the Governor on 20 September 1909. With the expansion in student numbers in the 1950s and early 1960s, new purpose-built facilities were constructed in the Darlington extension area across City Road and since the mid seventies all departments have been accommodated in this area, although a wind tunnel in the Woolley Building is still in use by Aeronautical Engineering.
The new SciTech Library opened in the Darlington engineering precinct in 2010, as the amalgamation of the Architecture, Engineering, Madsen and Mathematics libraries, brought together as part of the Campus 2010 project.
Engineering is a good degree choice for any student who wishes to understand how the world is designed and is looking to pursue a career in an industry such as construction, business, transport, government and many more.
At Australian universities, engineering students can choose from a range of specialisations including civil engineering, electrical engineering, aerospace engineering and more. Many students will choose to stay on for a postgraduate course in order to further narrow down their speciality before entering the world of work.
Students at the University of Melbourne can access the Melbourne Entrepreneurial Centre, which helps students to get business ideas off the ground with a range of masterclasses, workshops and pitch nights.
There are seven different engineering schools at the University of Sydney: aerospace, mechanical and mechatronic; biomedical; chemical and biomolecular; civil; computer science; electrical and information engineering; and project management.
UNSW Sydney has eight different schools of engineering: biomedical; chemical, civil and environmental; computer science; electrical and telecommunication; mechanical and manufacturing; minerals and energy resources; and photovoltaic and renewable energy engineering.
Among the range of postgraduate courses are ones in environmental engineering, mechanical engineering, telecommunications and civil engineering. During their degree, all postgraduate students are required to complete a thesis based on their individual research interests.

All engineering students must complete 450 hours of engineering professional practice (EPP) and submit five reflections on this time before graduation. These hours are made up of real industrial engineering practice to prepare students for work after university.
Students also have the opportunity to study abroad for a semester or two. The University of Queensland has partnerships with more than 150 universities across 37 countries, so students can choose from a wide variety of cultures.
There are two main campuses as part of Monash University: the Clayton Campus in Melbourne and the School of Engineering in Malaysia. Students at either have the opportunity to travel and experience both.
Chemical engineering uses chemistry, physics and mathematics to convert raw materials or chemicals into more useful or valuable forms. A great variety of process industries serve the needs of society.
You have left secondary education more than two years ago (i.e. who are not classified as recent secondary education applicants) and have not undertaken vocational education training (VET) or higher education study since then.
Applicants with vocational education and training (VET) study are those whose highest level of study since leaving secondary education is a VET course. This includes study at a public TAFE or other VET provider, whether a qualification was completed or not. Applicants with VET study may have other qualifications such as a Year 10 or Year 12 secondary school certificate.

Applicants with higher education are those whose highest level of study since leaving secondary education is a higher education course, such as a university degree. This may include applicants who are currently studying a higher education course at another education provider and want to transfer to Curtin University, or applicants who are currently studying at Curtin but want to switch to a different course. It may also include applicants who have completed past study with university and non-university higher education providers.
All Australian students studying an undergraduate degree are automatically awarded a Commonwealth supported place. A limited number of Commonwealth supported places are also available for some postgraduate courses.
*The indicative first-year fee is calculated on 200 credit points, which is the typical full-time study load per year, however some courses require additional study to be completed, in which case the fee will be higher than that shown.

Professor Dianne Wiley is a Chemical Engineer with a strong track record of fundamental and applied research. She is a recognised world leader in the development of membrane systems for water and wastewater treatment and other applications, and, in the assessment of a broad range of technologies for carbon capture and storage across the whole process chain.
Professor Dianne Wiley was appointed to the University as Dean of Engineering in February 2022. Prior to this she was Head of School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Sydney, a position she held from 2016. Her other leadership roles have included Deputy Director of the UNESCO Centre for Membrane Science and Technology at the University of New South Wales as well as Capture Program Manager and Economics Leader at the CO2CRC.
In her current role, Dianne is working with colleagues and industry partners to position the University as the regional leader of engineering-led research and education to address some of the most pressing problems facing our society including food and water security, climate change resilience, information protection and access, supply of energy and resources, infrastructure design and management, and, promoting healthy and interconnected lifestyles.
Industrial sources account for almost 30% of global CO2 emissions, and are emitted due to the combustion of fossil fuels used for process heat and steam, and from process chemistry. To address these emissions, application of carbon capture and storage (CCS) is vital. In the near term, post-combustion capture using chemical absorption is seen as the most likely option. This chapter summarizes the state-of-the-art chemical absorption technology currently being investigated at industrial emission sources. The sources evaluated cover energy-intensive industries such as cement manufacture, iron and steel production, oil refineries, aluminum smelters, and chemical production (such as hydrogen production for refineries, ammonia, and methanol, as well as gas-to-liquid facilities).
This chapter illustrates that greenhouse gas emission sources produce mixed gases. It analyzes the cost of separating a gas mixture from a power station flue gas stream followed by offshore sub-surface storage. It also examines the use of gas membrane separation as well as chemical absorption to achieve varying concentrations of CO2, in the gas mixtures sequestered. The results indicate that, using a gas membrane separation system, the lowest sequestration cost per ton of CO2 avoided occurs when a mixed gas with a CO2 content of about 60% is sequestered. Lower costs and higher tonnages of CO2 avoided can be achieved using an amine based absorption separation system. The results also confirm that at the lowest cost point, and over most of the range of cases studied, the cost of separation is significantly greater than the cost of storage. However, this would depend on the source of the CO2, the distance between the source and the injection site, and, the reservoir into which CO2 is injected. 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
