Chemical Engineering: Optimising your future

Event details
Description
Optimising your future with Chemical Engineering
Ever wondered what chemical engineers do and how they tackle global challenges like energy and sustainability?
In this session, you'll explore the real-world impact of chemical engineering and even get hands-on by designing a bioethanol production plant, weighing up the trade-offs between cost and product quality.
We’ll also guide you through the university application process, and a friendly student ambassador will be on hand to answer your questions about studying and living at the University of ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ.
It's a great experience to get a deeper understanding about the subject you want to do, especially friends who are not sure what they want to do in university yet.
