The Department of Chemical Engineering is a large and successful department within the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology. Our laboratories are housed across four locations including a substantially renovated main building, a second building devoted exclusively to research, two floors within the nearby Chemistry building, and a presence within the Bio21 Institute.
Our strong collaborations with industry, government and community partners inform our teaching and research programs with real-world requirements. Industry engagement is a key focus area for the Department. We carry out research projects based on deep collaborations with government and business. We work with organisations that provide internship project opportunities for students.
