Chemical Engineering, a science that employs the disciplines of Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology and Engineering, offers a wide range of perspectives in today's scientific and technological environment. With the evolution of technologies and the increasing need for sustainable development, chemical engineers are at the centre of critical research and application efforts.
From industrial manufacturing, petrochemicals, energy efficiency, water resource management, food industry to pharmaceutical technology and new materials development, the potential of chemical engineering seems endless. The potential to offer solutions to global problems, such as climate change, the need for clean energy and sustainability, makes chemical engineering a sector with significant challenges, but also offers excellent opportunities for the future.
Beyond traditional industrial work, chemical engineering professionals also play a critical role in areas, such as research and development, energy and environmental management, and resource management. A significant part of their contribution includes the development and design of specialised studies to develop sustainable solutions to energy and environmental challenges. This includes the analysis and application of advanced technologies to optimise energy efficiency, reduce pollutant emissions, improve waste management and ensure public health through occupational safety and health. By applying this knowledge, chemical engineers enhance sustainability and contribute to addressing global environmental challenges.
From September 2017, the Department of Chemical Engineering of the Cyprus University of Technology offers the sole degree in Chemical Engineering in Cyprus.
Chemical Engineering is about the science and technology to manufacture products in ways that are safe, economically viable and environmentally sustainable. Chemical Engineers design methods and processes for producing the multitude of goods that a modern society needs.
After complementing lectures with practical education, students are assigned to laboratories in diverse fields during their senior year while undertaking research for their degree.
The programme of Chemical Engineering offers a solid background in engineering that allows students to elaborate on numerous general and specific fields of the Engineering sector, such as Fluid Engineering, Mass and Energy Transport, Biotechnology, Petrochemical Technology, and Materials Science and Technology. In addition, traditional sciences such as chemistry, biology, physics and mathematics become the basis of numerous applications within the field of Chemical Engineering. Chemical Engineers are well equipped to address significant modern technological and societal challenges, such as the sustainable use of energy resources, environmental pollution and remediation, the greenhouse effect as well as other problems related with the pharmaceutical industry, biotechnology and the health sector in general.
