What is Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering?
Chemical and bioprocess engineering is all about adding value to raw materials. Examples include fermentation of sugars to alcohol, production of pharmaceutical products, extraction of high value compounds, composting of organic waste, conversion of milk solids to dairy ingredients, conversion of wood into paper and the production of fuels from waste streams.
Chemical and bioprocess engineering is a fascinating career, where you can be involved in the design of a whole process, help optimise existing processes or operate the process itself. Graduates also work in a diverse range of industries including chemical processing, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, pulp and paper, dairy, meat and food processing, and environmental engineering.
When you graduate you’ll typically begin your career in a technical role in the processing industry. The business and management skills that are an integral part of your learning during the Massey engineering degree will stand you in good stead - if you work hard, you are likely to progress rapidly to a managerial position.
The wide scope of employment options and the central role process engineers play in the New Zealand industry means chemical and bioprocess engineering graduates are sought after in industry and well paid.
