Programme Learning Outcomes

This programme will enable students to appreciate the scientific and engineering context of the chemical & process engineering discipline. In a broad sense, students graduating from this programme would: 

• Understand the principles of fluids and solids formation and processing

• Be proficient in applying these principles to problems involving fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer and reaction engineering

• Be able to apply the principles to the analysis of complex systems within a structured approach to safety, health and sustainability

Graduates will be able to practically apply chemical engineering skills by combining theory and experience, together with the use of other relevant knowledge and skills in areas such as: operations and management, projects, providing services or consultancy, developing new technology. Graduates must also must display competence in chemical engineering design, which requires bringing together technical and other skills, the ability to define a problem and identify constraints, the employment of creativity and innovation. The chemical engineering design components of this programme will equip graduates in the creation of systems, processes, products or plants to meet identified needs of industry while understanding the concept of ‘fitness for purpose’ and the importance of delivery.

These outcomes encompass elements Core Chemical Engineering, Chemical Engineering Practice, and Chemical Engineering Design Practice under the internationally accepted standard for a bachelors degree in chemical engineering.
