Chemical Engineering, Project Laboratory

KETF05, 7,5 credits, G2 (First Cycle)

Valid for: 2012/13
Decided by: Education Board 2
Date of Decision: 2012-04-04

General Information

Main field: Technology.
Compulsory 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 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

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 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.
