Chemical Engineering

Core Courses

To achieve its objectives, the Chemical Engineering – Process Engineering program offers a comprehensive and coherent curriculum designed to cultivate both scientific expertise and professional versatility:

• A core theoretical and practical education in process engineering, forming the foundation of the training. It encompasses key domains such as fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, unit operations (including distillation, absorption, extraction, crystallization, etc.), chemical reactors, process optimization and simulation techniques, porous and dispersed media, refining and petrochemical processes, as well as essential aspects of quality control, safety, and process regulation. This core curriculum also integrates technical drawing and process flow diagramming to strengthen students' proficiency in graphical representation and industrial communication.
• A general scientific education in applied mathematics, physics, and chemistry, aimed at providing students with the conceptual foundations necessary to grasp the physical and chemical laws that govern process engineering.
• A general education component including specialized English, focused on developing communication and expression skills in both academic and professional contexts.
• A professional development component, enabling students to construct a personalized career pathway aligned with their aspirations and the evolving needs of industry.
• Supervised projects and an industrial internship, which serve to consolidate the knowledge acquired throughout the program while immersing students in real-world professional environments.

Advanced Topics

The Chemical Engineering program is designed to introduce students to applied research and higher education activities within the field of process engineering. It also aims to prepare them for a gradual and autonomous integration into the professional world, notably through a pedagogical approach centered on self-directed learning, which is fostered throughout the two years of the Master’s program.

The educational and scientific framework of the program is structured around the following key pillars:

• The integration of engineering sciences in the analysis and control of industrial processes, relying on the precise regulation of critical parameters such as temperature, pressure, concentration, and flow rate, with the goal of optimizing the performance of production systems.
• The acquisition of essential scientific and technical foundations required to understand and solve complex issues related to industrial production, process safety, and compliance with environmental regulations.
• The development of specialized competencies in crucial domains such as Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), process validation, and industrial regulations, in line with the demands of the chemical industry.
• Furthermore, the knowledge, methodologies, and tools acquired during the program are transferable and applicable to other emerging technological fields, particularly biotechnology, thereby opening up broad prospects for innovation and interdisciplinary engagement.
