While studying Chemical and Biological Engineering, you're learning to integrate biological systems with engineered systems to manufacture next generation technology. You’ll develop important skills to design systems for a wide array of applications such as food production, wastewater treatment, and drug delivery.
These skills may include:
- Planning and design of a system and processes that meet production objectives and adhere to industry standards and regulatory requirements
- Development and execution of purification techniques such as distillation, crystallization, sublimation, and chromatography for different substances
- Design and testing of process equipment (e.g., valves, vessels, pumps, heat exchangers, piping)
- Conducting root cause analysis to investigate and troubleshoot process control issues related to electrical, instrumentation, and control systems
- Development of improved fabrication methods and processes for commercial production
- Evaluation and assessment of technologies for reliability, production capability, consistency, and cost-effectiveness
- Technical skills in carrying out modelling and statistical analysis using MATLAB and HYSYS
- Creation and implementation of environmental control measures including the reduce, recycling, reuse of waste and by-products
