Design of chemical engineering processes and plants requiring application of unit operations, chemical process principles, economic analysis and synthesis and optimization of chemical processes. This course is a major piece of group work, carried out under minimal supervision, which enables students to demonstrate the skills and knowledge gained elsewhere in the degree program. As such, the main learning process is activity based and associated with the undertaking of an open-ended, minimally defined, project. E-resources will be provided for students' reference.

This course is scheduled as following:
