Ringkasan program

Chemical engineers invent, design and operate industrial processes that convert raw materials into valuable products; example products are food, pharmaceuticals, plastics, cleaning products, drinking water, fuel and electricity; these products are relevant to almost every aspect of our everyday lives; the products are made by processes that change the chemical, biochemical or physical state of substances; chemical engineers need to understand how such transformations happen at both the molecular scale and the industrial scale; they need to know how transformations can be achieved economically, safely, and in an environmentally�friendly manner.

Modul program

Year 1: The natural sciences route enables the student to study 3 science subjects and mathematics, this is ideal preparation if the student likes pure science and wants to understand how things work at a fundamental level. Year 2: Contains lectures on: fundamentals: fluid mechanics; mass and heat transfer; thermodynamics; process operations: reactors, separators, biotechnology; process systems: safety and enabling topics: mathematics or economics: depending on the student's choice of 1st year subject, there are additional lectures and practical work on either chemistry or engineering; students are assessed on these topics at the end of the year by four 3 hour written exams; throughout the year, students also take laboratory classes on fluid mechanics and undertake regular assessed project work. Year 3: Contains lectures on: fundamentals: fluid mechanics; heat transfer; thermodynamics; process operations: reactors, separators, bioprocessing; process systems: process dynamics and control; heat integration; environment; enabling topics: materials, statistics; students perform further assessed project work throughout the year, and sit four 3�hour written exams at the start of the 3rd term; after the examinations in the 3rd year, students undertake a design project that lasts 5 weeks of full�time work; this project is carried out in groups of about 6 students, and concerns the design of a modern industrial process. Year 4: Students take a compulsory paper on sustainability in chemical engineering, and choose 6 further advanced topics; past examples have included biopharmaceuticals; modern metrology; electrochemical engineering; particle technology; students also choose 2 'broadening material' papers; these are on topics that are useful to chemical engineers without being part of the discipline, such as a foreign language or entrepreneurship; in addition, students undertake a research project that might involve experimental, theoretical and/or computational work.
