Overview:

Chemical Engineering (BEng) introduces the principles used to transform raw materials into useful products through controlled chemical, physical and biological processes. At the University of Sheffield, the foundation-level course provides a structured introduction to the scientific and engineering concepts that underpin chemical engineering and prepares students for further study in the discipline.

What You'll Learn:

• Fundamental principles of chemistry, mathematics and physics relevant to engineering.

• Core concepts that explain how chemical and physical processes operate.

• Engineering approaches to understanding and analysing industrial processes.

• The relationship between scientific principles and their practical application in chemical engineering.

• Methods of applying quantitative and analytical thinking to engineering problems.

• The foundational knowledge and skills needed to progress into chemical engineering study.

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of the course, students will have developed a foundation in the scientific and mathematical ideas that support chemical engineering. They will be able to apply fundamental concepts from relevant disciplines to analyse straightforward engineering problems and explain how these principles relate to chemical processes. Students will also be better prepared to approach more advanced chemical engineering topics by connecting theoretical knowledge with practical engineering contexts. The course develops an understanding of the role of systematic analysis in engineering and provides a basis for continued academic study within the field.n Year in Science and Engineering leads to a wide range of undergraduate engineering and science degrees at the University.
