Environmental Process Engineering
Training Objectives
Process Engineering is an important field in the domain of science and technology (ST). Initially centered around fundamental Chemical Engineering, this field now encompasses a wide range of specialties such as Environmental Engineering, Materials Engineering, Pharmaceutical Engineering, Electrochemical Engineering, Cryogenics, Energy Engineering, and Agri-food Engineering, among others.
This specialty equips students with the necessary skills to work in the prevention and treatment of industrial pollution, waste management, and the development of solutions to environmental issues within the context of sustainable development. Graduates of this Master’s degree program should be able to implement product control analyses, interpret results, and ensure their reliability.
Target Profiles and Skills
Master’s degree graduates have acquired both theoretical and practical knowledge (knowledge and know-how) that enables them to understand any material transformation process. They are capable of establishing process balances, dimensioning and controlling equipment, and conducting measurements within a production and treatment chain. The acquired skills allow them to integrate various industrial sectors such as chemical, pharmaceutical, electrochemical, agri-food, materials, cosmetics, water treatment, and environmental protection industries, meeting the country’s need for technical professionals.
Regional and National Employment Opportunities
Process Engineering deals with the industrialization of chemistry and the processes of material transformation and purification. The application domains span the entire process of manufacturing, including laboratory development, pilot-scale testing, equipment sizing, construction of the production unit, and its operation.
This specialization in environmental process engineering aims to train versatile professionals with the knowledge and skills to fit into all stages of the process. They are destined to hold positions such as Study Officer, Project Officer, and more.
This program targets large national companies operating in the fields of processes, chemistry, energy, and the environment, such as Sonatrach, Sonelgaz, ADE, cement plants, Saidal, and others. At the regional level, there is also a strong potential for opportunities within the network of SMEs engaged in activities such as engineering firms, consulting agencies, material transformation, and treatment.
With the curriculum offered within this Master’s degree program, graduates are capable of integrating various socio-economic sectors, including:
– Technical education in secondary schools
– Research laboratories
– Public organizations
– Engineering firms
– Industrial sector
