Taught Modules

EG-208 Process Design and Simulation

NOT available to visiting and exchange students. The Faculty of Science and Engineering has a ZERO TOLERANCE penalty policy for late submission of all coursework and continuous assessment.
EG-M91 MSc Design Project

This module aims to take MSc students, with a variety of backgrounds, and carry out an advanced, in-depth design of a novel manufacturing process. The course will be composed of independent project work. Taught topics include: ASPEN simulations lab classes, Economic appraisal and costing, life cycle analysis, and Hazard studies. In parallel with the taught aspects, students will be expected to research into an appropriate compound for manufacture. The project itself requires the students to develop an innovative design for a plant to make a molecule for which no large scale production facility exists. The molecules to be produced need to be selected on the following characteristics: they should not be manufactured on a large capacity production facility (there may however be small scale production) and an outline of a manufacturing process including basic chemistry exists somewhere. The project will require the students to make choices and judgments on: the production capacity, time of operation, raw materials to use, production process, and benefit of the molecule to the company (i.e. economic, extending the knowledge base etc). As design is essentially a team exercise working well as a team is critical to successfully completing this project.

EGCM89 Chemical and Environmental Engineering MEng Design Project

This module aims to advance and broaden the design practices learnt at Level 3. This project will necessitate the students to adapt the design methodologies learnt previously to an unfamiliar molecule in order to generate a novel manufacturing process. The project itself requires the students to develop an innovative design for a plant to make a molecule for which no large scale production facility exists. The molecules to be produced need to be selected on the following characteristics: they should not be manufactured on a large capacity production facility (there may however be small scale production) and an outline of a manufacturing process including basic chemistry exists somewhere. The project will require the students to make choices and judgments on: the production capacity, time of operation, raw materials to use, production process, and benefit of the molecule to the company (ie economic, extending the knowledge base etc). Design is a team exercise throughout and working well as a team is critical to successfully completing this project.
