Process Engineering

This subject aims to develop critical thinking skills essential for work in the chemical process and other industries. Students will learn by tackling ill-defined engineering tasks, learn to organise and prioritise tasks to meet deadlines and improve their analytical and written communication skills. They will gain an appreciation of the tools and resources used in the design of process plants. Their understanding of issues relating to project management and plant safety will also be deepened. This subject provides grounding in chemical engineering process design and feasibility studies prior to the final design subject CHEN90022.

• 1Define the steps involved in designing a chemical processing facility
• 2Competently undertake many aspects of the design process
• 3Have developed an appreciation for the technical and non-technical aspects of design, in particular the need for such a facility to operate safely, sustainably and economically
• 4Demonstrated an ability to communicate technical information orally or in written reports.
