Courses Structure
The Undergraduate Curriculum of the School of Chemical Engineering aims to provide a high level of education to students of Chemical Engineering, in order to acquire the knowledge, skills and ability to apply the principles of science – mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology-engineering, as well as economics/social sciences in their fields of activity. These fields are characterized by processes of transformation of matter and are applied in chemical/biochemical installations, where matter is processed in the best way from a technical, economic and social point of view. More specifically, the subject of the science of Chemical Engineering includes fields of study such as:
- Properties and states of matter. Energy exchanges and transformations during the transformation of matter and/or energy.
- Physical, physicochemical, chemical, biochemical and biological processes and systems.
- Mass and Energy Balances, Thermodynamics, Chemical Kinetics and Transfer Phenomena.
- Analysis, design, development and regulation of processes and systems.
- Materials science, engineering and technology.
- Environmental Protection and Management.
- Health and safety.
- Energy systems management and energy saving.
- Industrial and Energy Economics – Management and Organization.
- Systems and Quality Control.
- Other fields of engineering: Technical Engineering (Static, Strength of Materials), Electromechanical equipment, Technical Designs.
According to the School’s curriculum, forty (40) mandatory core courses are offered, as well as three kinds of free selection courses. Free selection courses include: thirty one (31) “specialization” courses (allowing the students to select five among them), four (4) courses of foreign languages (allowing the students to select one language) and fifteen (15) elective courses, allowing the student to select three out of them (one from the field of humanities and two from the field of technology).
