Chemical engineering


Chemical Engineering is a profession that includes the application of technology, mathematics, physics, biology and chemistry. So their functions are developed on the basis of knowledge provided by these sciences, and by other branches of Engineering.

That said, the practice of Chemical Engineering consists of the conception, development, design, innovation and application of processes and their products; it is also concerned with the economic development, design, operation, and control of chemical plants for these processes, research and teaching in those fields.

  • Why this career?

    Engineers and scientists are required to manage competencies to manage complex design systems, coordinate multidisciplinary teams for various projects, as well as analyze and optimize designs of existing industrial processes.

    That said, the Chemical Engineer is able to combine knowledge of chemistry, mathematics, biology, life sciences, environmental pollution, heat and mass transfer, as well as the balance of matter and energy. In order to design, develop, build, operate, improve and discover industrial processes that involve changes in the chemical composition, physical nature or energy content of materials. They are also involved in environmental issues, such as the prevention and sustainability of pollution, as well as care in the production of food for mass consumption, medicines and everyday products.

"INTEC / WMU: 2 + 2" is a modality of studies where the option of annual income to this program is offered every August (1). Students admitted to the programs included in the "2 + 2" will have an automatic provisional admission in WMU. During their training cycle at INTEC, they will receive the necessary advice and follow-up to comply with the requirements demanded by said university. Upon successful completion of the first two years, they will automatically enter the chosen career at the foreign university. The academic degree will be issued by Western Michigan University and by INTEC, thus obtaining a double degree.

Notes:
(1) Students who enter in August will be assured to take 2 years in INTEC, and 2 years in WMU. However, students who enter the institution outside of this date are not guaranteed this period of stay, it varies according to the terms of the foreign university.
