Compulsory workshop training course for Chemical and Process Engineering students.

Subject to approval of the Dean of Engineering

Engineering Work Experience

This course provides the means for students to accomplish the non-academic requirements for the BE(Hons). The requirements are completion of a health and safety quiz, a risk assessment, first aid competency, and two work report and self-reviews based on 800 hours of engineering work experience.

Acceptance into a professional year of the BE(Hons) programme. RP: Completion of Engineering Intermediate

Engineering Chemistry 2

Organic, inorganic, analytical and physical chemistry.

Principles of Biology for Engineers

The aim of this course is to introduce engineers to biology in a general way by providing a framework for understanding life at the cellular and molecular levels, and to introduce you to microorganisms and their central role in chemical and process engineering. The course is especially designed for Engineers. An understanding of basic chemistry is assumed, but if at any stage you feel that you do not understand the basics of biology and chemistry, then seek help from the course lecturers as soon as possible.

Mass and Energy Balances

Mass and energy balance calculations are the essential parts of the solution of many complex chemical engineering problems. They assist in the planning and design of processes, in the economic evaluation of the proposed and existing processes, in process control, and in process optimization. In this course, students will learn a systematic procedure for solving mass and energy balance problems including drawing and labelling for a flowchart, performing a degree-of-freedom analysis, making appropriate chemical engineering assumptions etc. Students will be able to analytically examine and predict the mass and energy balances around single or multiple unit operation(s) involving gases and liquids, recycle, bypass or purge streams with or without chemical reactions.

Heat and Mass Transfer Operations

An introduction to the physics of heat-transfer and mass-transfer that underpin process technologies. The course is taught using a first principles basis to explain the underpinning concepts relevant to heat and mass transfer, and to illustrate similarities and differences between these processes. Examples from every day situations, as well as chemical engineering applications, are used to clarify the concepts taught in class.
