Chemical engineeringGC
Chemical engineers: develop clean, safe and sustainable products,methods, processes and systems!
Objectives
The Toulouse INP-ENSIACET “Chemical Engineering” major aims to train and certify engineers whose skills span from the fundamentals of chemical reactions, design and management of the related process to shaping and packaging. The engineering curriculum of this major has a double target. Firstly, its objective is to give theoretical knowledge as well as working methods to approach the specificities of a technique. Secondly, it gives the necessary knowledge to be able to broaden engineers' responsibilities.
Features
- A balanced curriculum between chemistry and process engineering.
- Importance given to lab work.
- A curriculum based on sustainable development.
- Different professions in varied activity sectors.
- Strong support by the research lab in Chemical Engineering (Laboratoire de Génie chimique).
Skills
- Master the analytical tools applied to processes.
- Understand the problems linked to development: from chemical reaction to production.
- Size the systems used for physical, chemical or biological transformations.
- Analyze, optimize and control the processes.
- Take into account the quality, risk management, safety and sustainability factors.

Contribution to society
The Chemical Engineering subjects give the knowledge to optimize existing processes and to develop new synthesis pathways, new solvents and processes that are more eco-aware while taking into account the societal expectations.
Examples of contributions to society:
- CO2 storage solutions
- water treatment devices
- reduction of the level of pollutant emissions: the catalytic converter
