Studying chemical engineering involves understanding the nature of what makes up the world and converting raw materials into products to build creative and innovative solutions. Because it combines knowledge of mathematics, chemistry, biology, physics and computing to create these products, it is also known as “universal engineering”. In the coming years, the world will need, more than ever, people trained in chemical engineering to produce new materials, foods and drugs and to optimize processes considering energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.
The Chemical Engineering course at PUCRS prepares you for all these challenges with one of the most comprehensive curricula in the country, which combines theory with practice from the first semesters, a highly qualified team of professors and an infrastructure with state-of-the-art laboratories and equipment. In addition to all the technical learning, here you will develop fundamental skills and abilities for the profession, such as teamwork, leadership, ethics, critical and innovative thinking and much more.
