Presentation
The Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Chemical Engineering provides training grounded on the theoretical bases and on the specific technologies related to this field.
Graduates in Industrial Chemical Engineering are responsible for the design, maintenance and operation of chemical process equipment. Therefore, they study the control and instrumentation of chemical processes, experiment with organic and inorganic substances, heat transfer, matter transfer, fluid flow, and chemical reaction engineering. In addition, they study the use of raw materials, the chemistry of natural products, the analysis of manufacturing processes, environmental pollution and industrial safety and hygiene. Thus, these graduates carry out their professional activity especially in industries in which chemical processes take place, such as the oil, paper, electricity, electronics and gas industries, as well as in the environmental sector and the public administrations. They may also devote their careers to teaching and research.
Competencies
This course awards the qualification of professional engineer at Bachelor level (Industrial Technical Engineer).
The abilities that the students must acquire and that are necessary to obtain the degree were defined according to those established in the Order CIN/351/2009, February 9th, which sets the requirements to verify the official university degrees that award the qualification of professional engineer at bachelor level (Industrial Technical Engineer).
The professional profile of the current engineer is dynamic and will have to develop very diverse activities throughout the professional life. For this reason it is convenient to ensure a good basic and transversal training, in addition to those other specific competences that will provide the student the profile of the course.
