Program Overview

Training Objectives

Process Engineering is a key discipline within the field of Science and Technology (ST Domain). Initially based on Chemical Engineering, it has gradually expanded to encompass a wide range of specialties, including Environmental Engineering, Materials Engineering, Pharmaceutical Engineering, Electrochemical Engineering, Cryogenics, Energy Engineering, and Food Processing. This evolution reflects its growing importance and its impact across numerous industrial and technological sectors.

Targeted Knowledge

Process Engineering plays a fundamental role in industries involving the transformation of matter and energy. It is therefore essential to train specialists capable of mastering these processes on an industrial scale. This bachelor's degree provides a solid foundation by integrating the core disciplines of the field, such as physical chemistry, unit operations, transport phenomena, and reactors—forming a common base for all Process Engineering specializations.

At the end of this multidisciplinary program, graduates will have acquired essential skills not only in fundamental sciences (mathematics, physics, chemistry) but also in industrial technologies and processes, including reactors, process design, transport phenomena, instrumentation, and industrial facilities. This knowledge is crucial for understanding the principles of Process Engineering and its wide-ranging applications. The Bachelor's degree in Process Engineering aims to train versatile professionals capable of managing industrial processes involving the transformation of matter and energy. Below is an overview of the program:
