Targeted competences

The education programme in Chemical Engineering at INSA Toulouse aims to develop skills which are necessary for an engineer to develop, design, operate, optimise, manage or commercialise chemical or biochemical processes. These chemical engineers work in industries in the environmental sector (water/air/waste treatment) or in various other fields (chemistry, petrochemistry, food, pharmacy and cosmetics, specialised materials) and are able to take into account environmental and energetic criteria (eco-processes).
The training develops:
- generalist skills in Chemical Engineering which can be applied to all industries
- the ability to take into account environmental contexts using a knowledge of regulations and water science and environmental engineering and associated metrologies
- the ability to work in a team on multi-disciplinary projects in Chemical Engineering : design of industrial plants
- the ability to manage a project integrating organisational, economic, financial, human and technical aspects
In addition to the generalist skills in Chemical Engineering, the training offers two major specialisations:
- Green-Processes (clean and sober Processes), which develops skills to consider environmental and energetic constraints in order to design and operate processes for all industrials sectors : design of environmental-friendly products, design and control of clean and sober processes, treatment and valorisation of industrial wastes
- Eco- industries (Treatment processes), which develops skills to design or operate processes adapted to the treatment of pollutions (water, air, wastes, grounds, drinking water production).
