Chemical Engineering: professional practice doctorate records.

Research this field and level

Official classification: Chemical Engineering.

A program that prepares individuals to apply mathematical and scientific principles to the design, development and operational evaluation of systems employing chemical processes, such as chemical reactors, kinetic systems, electrochemical systems, energy conservation processes, heat and mass transfer systems, and separation processes; and the applied analysis of chemical problems such as corrosion, particle abrasion, energy loss, pollution, and fluid mechanics.

Compare the chemical engineering curriculum, mathematics preparation, laboratory work and safety requirements. Chemistry is a separate field classification and should not be substituted for this code.

This selection is the source professional practice doctorate category, award level 18. It stays separate from research doctorates and other doctorate awards. Verify the exact qualification, current applicant route and recognition in the intended jurisdiction; the award category does not establish eligibility for professional practice.
