Matter & Process
Chemical Engineering
Génie chimique
Turn raw materials into fuels, chemicals and products, at industrial scale.
Chemical Engineering
Chemical engineers design and run the processes that transform raw materials, such as oil, gas and minerals, into fuels, plastics, fertilisers and medicines.
Students learn to scale a reaction from the laboratory bench to a plant: separation, reaction, heat transfer and control.
