Chemical Engineering
UCL
Chemical Engineering is all about changing raw materials into useful products you use everyday in a safe and cost-effective way. Chemical Engineers understand how to alter the chemical and/or physical state of a substance to create anything from face creams to fuels.
Through our Summer School, you will learn more about what it is to be a chemical engineer, by becoming familiar with some basic chemical engineering concepts and their relevance to a wide range of sectors through several exciting activities.
You will be involved in experimental laboratory sessions to introduce you to the fundamentals of how chemical processes and chemical reactors operate. You will also be engaged in some computational workshops to understand how process simulation can be used to design, analyse and optimise chemical processes.
To finish off the week, you will put your new skills to the test and compete in groups to complete a Chemical Engineering design challenge! You will also learn more about careers in Chemical Engineering through a series of talks with speakers from the department and from the industry.
Are you a creative problem solver? Would you like to learn how to think like an engineer? Do you want to use Maths, Physics and Chemistry to make a positive impact in the world? Then the UCL Chemical Engineering Summer School would suit you – we hope to meet you this summer!
