Optimising your future with Chemical Engineering
This session will explain what chemical engineers do and how their work is impacting global issues like energy and sustainability.
You will have the opportunity to design a bioethanol production plant and explore the trade-offs between manufacturing costs and the quality of the product.
Finally, we will discuss the process of applying to the СŷÊÓƵ of Sheffield, and our student ambassadors will answer your questions about moving to university.
It's a great experience to get a deeper understanding about the subject you want to do, especially friends who are not sure what they want to do in university yet.
