The Process Engineering programs have been designed to produce graduates who have a practical understanding of the different process issues that must be addressed when operating process plants and the skills to positively contribute to the improvement of those processes.

Each course has been specifically designed to develop both the technical and professional skills of the student and their ability to apply this knowledge in their everyday work. These skills will be developed by completing assignments and projects that focus on the actual circumstances that apply in their place of work.

These courses are specifically aimed at the professional upgrading of persons entering or currently employed in the field of Process Engineering.The development of these courses has been in response to a strong and clearly-voiced demand from industry. A Process Engineering Course Advisory Committee was established to oversee the development of the courses. This Committee consists of senior engineers from Queensland Alumina, Boyne Smelters and CSIRO.The Committee has been, and continues to be, involved in all aspects of program development including identification of learning objectives and outcomes, content validation, assessment issues, and matters related to the design and delivery of each course unit.
