Syllabus:

The discipline of chemical engineering developed from society's need for products and energy. Chemical Engineers design, operate and optimise processes that convert raw materials into products and/or energy, which is often referred to as Process Engineering. This course provides a comprehensive introduction to mass and energy balances that are central to process engineering and underpin basic principles for calculation, design, control, safety, optimisation , intensification, implementation and sustainability of industrial processes and equipment. More than ever chemical engineers need to continue to meet the needs of society and use their process engineering knowledge, which is built from the combination of physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics and economics, and their problem-solving skills, to address global issues related to a growing population, limited resources and climate change. The course is delivered through a combination of lectures and workshops, tutorials, practicals and a site visit, self-directed learning and small group discovery. Once you have completed the course, you will be aware of the significant contribution process engineering makes to society and be able to understand and analyse simple processes.
