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 as well in ongoing projects as in final documents.
group collaboration in the different stages of a chemical engineering project including preparation, planning, experimental work and reporting

Skills and abilities
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 and reporting in the form of technical reports that should be defended 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 of a work task on there own including the study of relevant literature, planning of experiments, experimental work and evaluation of the results.Reporting is made in the form of written reports, which should be presented and defended orally.
