The Chemical engineering is the study of establishing, developing, and designing processes that manufacture, modify, or transport products and materials. Sunway Bachelor of Chemical Engineering incorporates natural, experimental, and biological sciences knowledge, as well as components of mathematics and economics, to examine problems and devise solutions for challenges such as safety, efficiency, and sustainability. Chemical engineers develop future materials and technologies; they design chemical manufacturing equipment and develop and manage industrial processes that transform raw materials into the most usable products.
