Program Overview

Chemical Engineering Program

Overview

The Chemical Engineering program at Sapienza Università di Roma is designed to provide students with a comprehensive education in the field of chemical engineering. The program aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to understand and manage industrial processes, reduce environmental impact, and develop innovative solutions.

Objectives

The program's primary objective is to provide students with a solid foundation in the principles of chemical engineering, including thermodynamics, unit operations, and reactive systems. The program also aims to develop students' skills in process design, development, and management, as well as their ability to work effectively in a rapidly changing technological landscape.

Curriculum

The program consists of a single curriculum, divided into three years. The first year focuses on foundational courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and computer science, which provide the necessary basis for understanding the phenomena underlying the transformation of materials. The second and third years focus on characterizing and integrative activities, which aim to provide students with a deep understanding of the theoretical foundations and key concepts of chemical engineering and industrial engineering.

• The program covers a range of topics, including:
  • Organic chemistry
  • Industrial chemistry
  • Applied chemistry
  • Materials science
  • Thermodynamics
  • Transport phenomena
  • Separation operations
  • Chemical equipment and plants
• The program also includes elective courses and activities aimed at developing students' skills in data analysis and engineering knowledge.

Final Project

The program culminates in a final project, which consists of the preparation and presentation of a thesis. Students have the option to combine their final project with an internship at a company or research institution.

Study Commitment

The program requires a significant commitment to personal study and individual activities, with at least 60% of the student's overall time allocation dedicated to these pursuits.
