Subject Description

Material taught in other chemical engineering subjects will be reinforced by a series of assignments in which ill-defined and open-ended engineering problems will be tackled. Students successfully completing the course will have developed enhanced engineering problem-solving and information technology skills. They will also have developed an appreciation for the legal and social framework within which engineers must practise.

Practice in the development and application of selection criteria for making appropriate engineering decisions. Creating and analysing processing systems which economically transform raw material, energy and know-how into useful products. Practice in application of computer design packages to perform chemical process design calculations. General, contract, corporate, environmental and intellectual property law. Appropriate use of scientific computing and numerical methods to solve exercises in areas including fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer and process dynamics and control.

Assessment

Assignments not exceeding a total of 80 pages of computations, diagrams and written work.
