Process EngineeringGP

Process engineers: design, model and operate up-to-date processes and plants!

ENSIACET Process Engineers have strong theoretical and practical knowledge in Process Engineering as well as general skills in social sciences, humanities and economics.
They are proficient in numerical and IT skills. Used to team work , they are able to innovate on interdisciplinary projects, invent new processes, design and model future plants, manage their achievement and their operation to make them more profitable, more sustainable, cleaner and safer.

Objectives

The Toulouse INP-ENSIACET Process Engineering major combines three core disciplines: Physics, Chemistry and Applied Mathematics/Computing.

This curriculum aims at a systemic approach for Process Engineering disciplines. Thus it promotes modeling and the use of numerical tools to design and manage industrial plants.

ENSIACET Process Engineers are therefore interdisciplinary physicians who have strong skills in the core disciplines of process engineering (heat and mass balance, transport and transfer phenomena, unit operations…) and high proficiency in statistics, digital. They are also skilled at social sciences, humanities and economics.
