Description
In the Chemical engineering major in Aalto Bachelor's Programme in Science and Technology students learn the basic skills and knowledge required for a transition from anfossil fuel-based to a sustainable society. Utilizing natural resources is vital for a sustainable way of living and will be crucial for future economic growth, as it will provide also new business opportunities.
The focus of the major is on biotechnology and biomaterials, complementing the strong basics in mathematics and programming obtained in the basic studies. Harnessing the tools offered by chemistry, biochemistry, biotechnology and engineering the major introduces how bio-based “thinking” will help in finding novel solutions to make this world more sustainable and create innovative products and solutions for applications ranging from construction materials and textiles to biofuels and medicine.
Upon graduating from the Chemical engineering major in Aalto Bachelor's Programme in Science and Technology, graduates will
have a comprehensive understanding of fundamentals in mathematics and programming to build their engineering skills on.
have a broad basis in chemistry, physical chemistry, and biochemistry to build on specialized knowledge in the Master’s studies.
have learned to operate in a multidisciplinary environment to work on societal challenges. Throughout several courses students get exposed to knowledge and ideas from e.g., BIZ or ARTS.
know the fundamentals of sustainable processes in the area of bioproducts and biotechnology.
