MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL It is my great pleasure to introduce you to the exciting new Integrated Bachelor of Engineering and Master of Engineering (BE/ME) program in the School of Chemical Engineering from 2012. The School of Chemical Engineering at the University of Queensland has a proud history of innovation and leadership in chemical engineering education, and this new BE/ME program will to continue to position UQ Chemical Engineers as industry leaders, both in Australia and internationally. We have developed this brochure to provide information to our existing students, new students, and also our many industry partners. The brochure outlines the structure of the new program, the various plans within the program, and the features and benefits of the new BE/ME that makes it an exciting opportunity for both students and industry. Recent surveys of UQ engineering students highlighted that many would undertake an extended program, if it involved useful, advanced course content, practical placements in industry or research, and improved positioning in the international graduate market. We received similar feedback from our industry partners and this feedback played a vital role in shaping the new BE/ME program. It is important to state very clearly that we will continue to offer the 4 year BE program. However, we also now believe that there is a great opportunity, and need, to offer an extended 5 year BE/ME program. This will enable us to provide greater in-depth specialisation than the current BE program allows. The Integrated Bachelor of Engineering and Master of Engineering program will have specialisations in Chemical, Chemical and Biological, Chemical and Environmental, Chemical and Materials, and Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering. By setting this new standard in chemical engineering education, we are excited about the opportunities that this will offer the new generation of BE/ME graduates.

INTEGRATED BACHELOR of ENGINEERING & MASTER of ENGINEERING With an increasingly globalised workforce and complex challenges facing the world, a review of Engineering at The University of Queensland proposed a new and innovative Integrated Bachelor of Engineering and Master of Engineering (BE/ME) program. The major objectives of the BE/ME are to produce graduates who: 1. Are globally competitive for graduate positions and research higher degrees. 2. Have the depth to be technical leaders in their area of specialisation. 3. Have the breadth and experience to lead multi-disciplinary teams. The 2007 US National Academy of Engineering review acknowledged that adequate depth in a specialised area of
Specialisations in the BE/ME: • Chemical Engineering • Chemical & Biological Engineering • Chemical & Environmental Engineering • Chemical & Materials Engineering • Chemical & Metallurgical Engineering

engineering cannot be achieved in the undergraduate baccalaureate degree. They recommended the introduction of an accredited Masters degree that expands and improves the skills and enhances the ability of an engineer to practice engineering. This approach has already been widely adopted in many engineering schools in the UK and Europe and is seen as a means of differentiating developed and highly skilled economies from developing economies. This brochure outlines the BE/ME program from the School of Chemical Engineering that achieves the above aims. The most obvious point to students is that the BE/ME involves an extra year of study and considerable thought has been put into how this additional year of study can best be used to the benefit of students. The general outline of what the BE/ME will look like is presented on the facing page.
BE/ME PROGRAM STRUCTURE The general structure of the BE/ME is given below. This builds on the current BE where core chemical engineering courses are complemented with a stream of specialised courses. Details on the structure for each program are given in the following pages.

BE/ME PROGRAM FEATURES Industry or Research Semester Placement: This program will place students with industry partners and research institutions, both locally and internationally. The timing of the placement adjacent to summer holidays means that many things are possible, including overseas placements or hybrid industry/research projects where you work on site and at a research institute. This will be supported by UQ and the School but will be driven by you! Your interest and career ambitions will be the driving force behind what you do. This has an important role for Masters courses in the 5th year, as it provides context. This is context for what has preceded the placement (BE Courses) and what will follow the placement (ME Courses). This will establish industry and research networks even before you graduate and get your career off to a flying start. During your placement you will be supported by a UQ academic in addition to your placement supervisor and colleagues.
HECS-HELP Support: The BE/ME will be HECS-HELP supported for the entire 5 years of study for domestic students as is currently the case for the 4 year BE. This is a feature of an integrated Bachelor and Masters that does not exist for a postgraduate Masters degree. For international students, the fees for the BE/ME will be the same as the BE as long as they complete an appreciable part of the BE at UQ.
1st year: The commonality of first year has been increased with the introduction of ENGG1100/1200 and the paring down of the first year course list. 2nd and 3rd year: The structure of second and third year has remained quite similar with the core of chemical engineering complemented by specialised courses. The Project Centred Curriculum (PCC) is retained along the spine of the degree from CHEE2001 to CHEE4002. This was a major outcome of the last degree review and, has been well received by industry and students alike. Details on the specialised courses can be found in the following pages with the plans for each specialisation. Students will apply for the BE/ME program at the end of their 3rd year.

Masters level coursework: These courses are designed to move beyond the requisite knowledge of the various disciplines and place students closer to the leading edge of technology. Industry needs graduates who can apply new technologies to existing and emerging industries. The Masters courses give the BE/ME graduate a clear and demonstrable advantage when applying for jobs that require advanced skills/capabilities. These will be delivered in a diverse range of styles to move students closer to the type of life-long learning required in industry. The preceding (or following) placement semester will place course content in context with industry/research relevant projects. 4th year entry for honours students only: The BE/ME will be an offering only available to students who are performing at honours level (GPA > 5.0) at the end of 3rd year. This is necessary for establishing a high standard where coursework can be designed to extend and challenge students.
Entry into the BE/ME for new and existing students: The BE/ME program be offered to existing students in 2012 in parallel with the existing BE. Transition pathways will be available for students in 1st, 2nd and 3rd year of their BE in 2012 to move into the BE/ME program. New students in 2012 will start with the BE structure from 1st year and be able to choose whether they do the BE/ME in due course.
4th and 5th year of BE/ME: Semester 7 features compulsory BE courses and BE level electives available to both BE and BE/ ME students. For most plans, semester 8 will be an industry or research placement while for some research intensive (and future focussed) plans, this placement will be in semester 9 to allow use of specific skills gained in semester 8. In semester 9 (or 8) students will complete several masters level courses in their area of specialisation. In semester 10, students will do a BE/ME level design which is separate from the BE design. 4th year of BE: Completion of the BE is similar to what is currently in place. Students will finish compulsory coursework requirements, electives towards their major and the final year design project.
New Courses for all BE/ME Students 5th Year Master of Engineering Design Project: This course is the capstone experience of the BE/ME degree. Students will work in teams on a process, or product, in an area/industry of interest. In addition to the learning outcomes from the BE design, the BE/ME design will allow students to cover the modelling/ design of specific aspects in more detail, using skills gained from their BE/ME level courses. Entrepreneurship and funding mechanisms for engineering projects will be covered and applied in the project. Grand Challenges: This course will focus on the implications of being a professional engineer in the 21st century through actively engaging with the technical, socio-economic and political challenges of the National Academy of Engineering Grand Challenges. Students will elect to focus on one of the 14 grand challenges as part of a small multidisciplinary team. Students will apply their engineering skills and knowledge to address this issue in consultation with UQ experts, industry, and the wider community.
GENERAL NOTES Future of BE: The BE will continue to be offered by UQ. There is no intention of removing this degree as it will continue to be a valuable degree for students and provide valuable employees to industry. The BE will continue to be accredited at its current level with EA and IChemE. Overseas Placement: Students will be strongly encouraged to spend all or part of their research placement semester overseas. This can be done either with a company, research institute or partner university. Sponsorship: Scholarships will be available for BE/ME industry placements and travel scholarships are available from UQ to do your research placement overseas. BE/ME Accreditation: It is expected the Integrated Bachelor of Engineering and Master of Engineering will be accredited to a Masters level by Engineers Australia (EA). This will recognise the more advanced outcomes compared to the BE.

New Courses Advanced Modelling: This course builds on CHEE3007 and CHEE4009. This will consider what techniques are required to model complex and unfamiliar processes and the integration of process commercial software (e.g Aspen) and models developed by the user (e.g. in VB). Some field specific technique aspects will be taught, such as multi-scale modelling, computational fluid dynamics and software integration. Whole of Process Optimisation and Control: This course will look at strategies and tools that can be used to decompose and optimise complex processes and how to decide which strategies to use and when. This will build on aspects from Control and Modelling completed in the BE. Factors external to those of primary concern to the process, such as regulatory requirements, maintenance and reliability will be considered. This course will extend the systems thinking of students and enable them to tackle realistic optimisation and control problems. Advanced Safety: Extension of CHEE4002 and themes integrated through the BE. It will address issues of how to manage safety from two stand-points: Inherent safety in design and safety management of operations (safety indicators, human factors, reward systems etc). This will look at different tools (currently) used in industry as well emerging trends. Numerous case studies abound in this area and students will be asked to link these with current literature.

BE/ME CHEMICAL & BIOLOGICAL ENGINEERING The BE/ME in Chemical and Biological Engineering will equip students with the capability to work within an emerging global field of industry and research and within multi-disciplinary teams. Students move from the current BE level of having a functional level of understanding of biology to a deeper level of understanding of biological principles, laboratory techniques, and the cutting edge of biological processing. On completion of the BE/ME, students will, in addition to the skills acquired in the BE, be able to: 1. Apply the techniques used in research laboratories to monitor and improve biological processes. 2. Identify and model how cell structure and metabolic pathways affect biological processing, identify and implement improvements to these processes. 3. Determine the interactions of the engineered biological systems as processes and as components of larger biological systems. 4. Understand the global trends, opportunities and challenges that affect, or are affected by, biological processing.
ADDED AND UPDATED COURSES BIOC2000, BIOL2200, BIOL2202 and MICR2000: These courses have been added to the degree to improve biological knowledge and laboratory skills. This brings BE/ME graduates in line with, or beyond, equivalent international degrees. Knowledge and skills from these courses are vital for the ME courses and gaining a placement at an international research institute. Metabolic Engineering: This revised Molecular & Metabolic Engineering, has substantial scope for innovation with the background developed in the courses above. Groups of students will consider an efficient strain and process for producing a particular product. This course may be linked with the iGEM competition at MIT. ME Electives: Electives in Biotechnology and Technology and Innovation Management, not available to BE students will be available to BE/ME students. Industry/Research Placement: This placement has been positioned in semester 9 for Chemical & Biological Engineering to enable use of the ME courses in a research placement. The concepts and lab skills taught in these courses will be critical to gaining a placement at a world class research institute (including those overseas). Biomaterials: Moving this course to 5th year allows it to cover more advanced applications, emphasizing the multi-disciplinary nature of this field.

BE/ME CHEMICAL & ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING Chemical and Environmental BE/ME graduates will be equipped to work across technical, research, and strategic roles to respond to the challenges of meeting the needs of the population in a sustainable manner. In addition to core chemical engineering skills, graduates will: 1. Have a solid grounding in modelling and analytical measurement of environmental systems in environmental and industrial applications. 2. Understand environmental systems dynamics and be able to quantify ecosystem processes and services. 3. Have the technical skills and knowledge to rigorously assess the long-term impacts of proposed products, processes and developments. 4.
Be able to apply, assess, critique and communicate a wide range of approaches to developing sustainable systems, including indicators of sustainability and methods of community consultation/engagement.
New Courses Environmental Systems Engineering I: Processes: Earth’s carbon, nutrient and water cycles; how these cycles interact to support ecosystems and the biosphere; an overview of major environmental issues worldwide (including population and urbanisation issues; resource depletion; climate change, air and water pollution; biodiversity and sustainable development) and how those issues are related to the core cycles which sustain life. Advanced Water Technology and Management: Principles and practices of integrated water resource management through the entire water cycle. This will cover water recycling, purification, supply, ground water, wastewater treatment technologies, effluent management and international best practice for sustainable use of water resources. Sustainable Management of Solid and Liquid Waste: Overview of the current global status of waste production, management and associated impacts, and non-renewable resource depletion. Waste management and resource recovery will be investigated on multiple scales, including on-site waste, municipal and industrial systems. Landfill practices will be considered, including conventional landfills; bioreactor landfills; reusable landfill cells; anaerobic digestion; composting and advanced processes (fuel cells, H2 production). Systems Thinking for Sustainability: This course introduces systems thinking as a tool and scientific methodology for sustainability. Sustainability involves multiple domains and divergent interests and perspectives including natural-environmental, social-political, businesseconomics, and policy-governance. Decision making and policy formulation in this setting is complex and embeds uncertainty and distant time horizons, often creating unintended consequences, tradeoffs and compromises. Sustainable Development in the Minerals Industry Advanced Tools and Integration: This course covers key sustainability indicators, systems, measures and definitionscurrently in use worldwide. They include life cycle assessment, environmental impact assessment, and other social and environmental indicators. Students will also be introduced to the theory and application of different methods of community consultation and engagement.

BE/ME CHEMICAL & MATERIALS ENGINEERING The BE/ME in Chemical and Materials Engineering will equip students with the capability to function in highly technical areas of industry and research and within multi-disciplinary teams. Students move from the current BE level of having a functional level of understanding of materials and their processing to a higher level understanding of this interaction which is the key to a number of current and future industries. On completion of the BE/ME, students will, in addition to the BE, be able to: 1. Use advanced techniques of characterisation to be able to determine the physical and chemical properties of materials. 2. Identify and, where possible, model how processing affects the micro and nano structure of materials and be able to optimise processes to achieve desired properties. 3.
Identify and, where possible, model how environmental factors (natural, processing, and biological) affect the lifetime performance of materials and what the sustainability impacts of materials are.
New Courses Advanced Manufacturing: People are well aware of the impact that nanomaterials and advanced composites have on our current lives and are expected to have into the futures. This course will look at manufacturing techniques that are used to deliver these materials from the laboratory to commercial quantities for use in a range of products. Several key manufacturing techniques will be covered in the light of how manufacturing affects the end performance of the product and the economics of production. Projects in specific areas of manufacturing will be completed by students to give greater insight into the manufacturing cycle. Laboratory Techniques: This course covers state-ofthe-artcharacterisation techniques with an updated overview of the unique capabilities of the advanced research instruments for mechanical, physical and chemical property measurements, and their working principles and potential applications. Students will gain hands-on experience with nanomechanical and non-destructive testing instruments, advanced electronic microscopes, laser Raman spectroscope, and Fourier transformation infrared spectral analyser. Lifetime Performance of Materials: The resilience, longevity, and environmental impact of materials are critical in engineering processes and products. Materials that do not perform to requirements in their given environment and service can have major impacts on users, operators and businesses. This course considers the environmental and service based factors that affect materials and how these can be incorporated into design and maintenance in engineering. The design aspect is very important, but this course will also introduce monitoring strategies and techniques that can be used to monitor material performance during product testing and use.
