Chemical Engineering Chemical engineers design and operate the processes involved with the transformation of materials. They are involved in key areas such as oil and gas refining, minerals processing, plastics, food processing and pharmaceuticals manufacture. The Chemical Engineering specialisation focuses on hydrocarbon processing, while still providing the general background necessary for graduates to find careers across a range of employers. Emphasis is placed on learning through project work with students being exposed to professional engineering practice through guest lectures by practicing engineers, site visits and work experience. CDU engineering courses were developed in consultation with industry representatives. Students graduate with a sound foundation of engineering learning as well as the advantage of an education that is directly aligned with industry requirements. Civil Engineering Civil engineers design, construct and manage the systems and infrastructure which is part of modern life. Specific areas include structures, water resources, roads and traffic, bridges and marine structures. There is a particular focus on structural engineering, water and its uses and the principles of sustainability, all of which combine to make graduates highly valued across a range of work.
