Master of Professional Engineering - Chemical engineering (Engineering Design)

Monash University

Develop new biodegradable polymers. Use nanomaterials to build next-gen semiconductors and LEDs. Refine lithium-sulphur batteries to make them more energy efficient. Or design sustainable packaging to reduce plastic and food waste. Explore industrial-scale processes that convert raw materials into commercial products to solve the energy, environmental and healthcare challenges of our times.Scale up biochemical breakthroughs for industrial production as you collaborate with physicists, chemists and biologists to solve complex problems. Equip yourself with advanced knowledge of thermodynamics, reaction engineering, fluid dynamics, separation processes, enzymes and advanced biotechnology.
With chemical engineering, you might purify contaminated water using state-of-the-art nanomembranes. Support the circular economy to build a zero-waste future. Or engineer full-flavour foods and beverages from plant-based ingredients.
Careers in Chemical and Biological engineering
Chemical and biological engineers are highly sought after in areas like nanotechnology, renewable energy, food production and biotechnology. While local demand remains strong, Australia seeks to strengthen its sovereign capabilities to produce biochemicals. You might enter industry to:
Develop cleaner biofuels to protect the environment, Improve water purification using nanomembranes, Advance hydrogen storage for vehicles
Save lives through tissue engineering, Make smart drug delivery even smarter
Process wastes to harness energy, recover high-value metals, make fuels and chemicals
Work with consulting firms to advise biochemical manufacturers, Drive climate action and inform policy in the public sector
Support the renewable energy transition through next-gen products,Craft new beer flavours and develop plant-based food alternatives
