Educational Aims
Utilise current level 2 technical chemical engineering knowledge to plan and operate a multi-step process to produce a series of products to a given specification and within appropriate safety and environmental guidelines.Learning Outcomes
A2 Chemical Engineering Principles:
A2.1.5 Different time scales: short and long periods; steady and unsteady state.
A2.4.4 Understand and be able to quantify the effect of processing steps on the state of the material being processed, and its transformation to the end product in terms of its composition, morphology and functionality.
A2.5.3 Understand system dynamics, being able to determine the dynamic response to changes in a process, design measurement and control functions, and determine its performance.
A2.5.4 Be able to apply digital techniques to solving chemical engineering problems.
A2.5.5 Understand the benefits and risks of digitalisation and adopt a holistic and proportionate approach to the mitigation of security risks using process, cyber and automation, and behavioural measures.
All assessed by practical assignment and carry out a plant start-up to achieve products to a given specification.
