PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
Chemical Engineers with a focus in bioprocess work at the forefront of biological and engineering sciences through the conversion of biological materials into other forms needed by mankind.
Application areas commonly associated with bioprocess engineering include the production of biofuels, design and operation of fermentation systems, development of food processing system, application and testing of product separation technologies, design of instrumentation to monitor and control biological processes and many more.
Like other engineering disciplines, bioprocess chemical engineering technologists are trained in the application of engineering sciences and problem solving techniques. What separates them from other technologists is their understanding of how every engineering fields relates to living materials. With the rapid growth of biologically based technologies, bioprocess chemical engineering technologists are uniquely qualified to solve the problems of today and tomorrow. The demand for their expertise will continue to grow. They provide a bridge between the research lab and the economic, large-scale implementation in biotechnology industries.
Bioprocess Chemical Engineering Technology is about using biology for a cleaner and a more effective manufacturing process, and for the design of better products such as:
Detergents
Pharmaceutical products
Supplements (vitamins)
Fermentation products (yogurt, cheese)
Confectionary and ice cream
Clean water

CAREER PATH
This is rapidly increasing demand for engineering graduates with an appreaciation and knowledge of the biological sciences. They help to create new technology for food and agricultural systems by improving processes, materials and products. The main areas are machinery and equiptment, soil and water, structures, food storage, and food processing. For example the manufacture of many pharmaceutical products, healthcare products, medicine, vaccines, and new materials rely upon the application of biology to industrial processes.
