Aims of the Programme The aim of this programme is to produce Chemical and Foundational Engineers who are equipped to work effectively in a professional capacity, for example in industrial design, or research and development. Graduates should be able to contribute specialist skills to such activities. They should also have developed the technical, intellectual and transferable skills needed to underpin their education and continuing professional development. Graduates will have a systematic knowledge and understanding of Chemical and Formulation Engineering, including aspects of biochemical engineering and other important specialisms. Some of their knowledge and understanding will be at the forefront of the discipline. Typical graduates will be able to make sound judgments in the absence of complete information, with an awareness of the context in which they work. They will be self-motivating, and will have the qualities and transferable skills necessary to take responsibility for their continuing personal and professional development. They will only need to complete a matching section to have the education to qualify as a chartered engineer. The high level of numeracy of graduates, and their skills in problem solving, team working, and communication and information technology, equip them for successful careers outside as well as within the process and allied industries.
Programme Outcomes
Students are expected to have Knowledge and Understanding of: Which will be gained through the following Teaching and Learning methods: and assessed using the following methods:
1. A broad knowledge and understanding of the scientific principles underpinning Chemical and Formulation Engineering
2. A knowledge and understanding of mathematical and computational methods and their use for modelling, analysis and design in Engineering
3. A knowledge and understanding of the essential concepts, principles, theories and current practice of Chemical and Formulation Engineering, and their limitations.
4. A knowledge and understanding of the essential elements of the design process and design methodologies.
5. An understanding of important concepts from other Engineering disciplines and subjects outside engineering.
6. A knowledge and understanding of the characteristics and uses of commonly occurring engineeering materials and functional products
7. Some knowledge and understanding of management and business practices.
8. An awareness of ethical and social issues related to engineering and of professional responsibilites.
9. Select and apply scientific principles, routine mathematical methods and computer based engineering tools in solving familiar Chemical Engineering problems.
10. Model and analyse routine engineering systems, processes and products.
11. Search for information for solving a problem, and present it for discussion.
