Bachelor of Engineering and Technology in Chemical Engineering offered by the University of Johannesburg
Chemical Engineering is involved with the physical and chemical transformation of raw materials into finished products. Chemical Engineering Technologists focus on the chemical and physical processes used in the manufacturing industry. They are employed across a wide range of manufacturing environments such pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, iron and steel, food and beverages, water and waste water treatment. In these industries, they investigate the nature of chemical reactions, process and equipment optimisation, commissioning and design, trouble shooting and problem solving. Typical job functions involve analysing raw materials and final products, quality assurance, research and development, technical sales and service, and production or process control. Chemical engineering graduates can also focus their work on environmental, health and safety management, as many of the industrial processes release pollutants into environment that can be harmful to humans and the environment.
