化学和生物过程工程学士学位（荣誉学位）

化学和生物过程工程是通过物理结合将原材料从工业加工成高价值产品的过程
Chemical and bioprocess engineering is the industrial processing of raw materials to higher value products through combinations of physical, chemical or biochemical action. These processes can be very diverse and chemical and bioprocess engineers design, optimise and operate these processes. 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. The distinctive feature of this course at Massey is that as well as equipping you with core chemical engineering skills for more traditional industries (oil, gas), there is a focus on innovative approaches such as nanotechnologies, biocatalysts, and clean processing techniques (based on our excellent research). The first year of study builds a solid platform of science principles with an engineering context, in common with the other BE majors. Projects are used to illustrate the application of these principles to real engineering problems and introduce the role and functions of the professional engineer. In the second year you will build further on these fundamental sciences and their application to chemical and bioprocess engineering systems. You will apply this knowledge and problem solving skills to product development and process development in projects in each semester. In your third year your study will extend from the study of engineering and chemical principles to processing applications such as bio-separations and reactor technologies. We use projects to teach utilities, sustainable processing and waste treatment. In the fourth year you will design a major innovative production process to integrate the various engineering and science skills acquired through earlier years of study. A research project provides experience in devising strategies for gaining new knowledge and data required for developing production processes.
