Date of Decision: 2023-04-18

General Information

Main field: Technology Depth of study relative to the degree requirements: First cycle, in-depth level of the course cannot be classified
Mandatory for: K3
Language of instruction: The course will be given in English on demand

Aim

An important work task for chemical engineers is to participate in the implementation of chemical reactions in both large and small scale. The work requires skills in

• retrieving information in the fields of chemistry and engineering
• performing applied studies in chemical engineering and evaluating experimental results
• compiling and communicating obtained results from ongoing projects as well as in final documents.
• group collaboration in the different stages of a chemical engineering project including preparation, planning, experimental work and reporting

Learning outcomes

Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must

• be able to evaluate, present and draw conclusions from the achieved results of the experiments
• be able to critically judge the reliability of the results based on obtained data

Competences and skills
For a passing grade the student must

• perform a study in chemical engineering including information retrieval, experimental planning, data collection, evaluation of the experimental results, which have to be reported in the form of technical reports and presented orally

Judgement and approach
For a passing grade the student must

• be able to design and perform experiments with consideration of safety and disposal rules

Contents

The project comprises a mandatory assignment in chemical engineering. The work, which is performed as a group assignment, should give the students training in solving a given task in groups, including the study of relevant literature, planning of experiments, experimental work and evaluation of the results.Reporting is made in the form of written and oral reports.

Examination details

Grading scale: UG - (U, G) - (Fail, Pass)
Assessment: Litterature study, planning of experiments and experimental work, reported in both oral and written form.

The examiner, in consultation with Disability Support Services, may deviate from the regular form of examination in order to provide a permanently disabled student with a form of examination equivalent to that of a student without a disability.
