Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities
It is assumed that you have successfully completed all earlier year chemical engineering courses and that you are familiar with inherent vocabulary, concepts and techniques.
Course Description
This course provides you with the opportunity to explore the application of chemical engineering principles to particular industry sectors or areas of specialist expertise in depth. Interface Engineering is the current focus of this course.
This course will help you understand why events at interfaces between different phases are very important in mining, resource recovery, energy, food, agriculture, pharmaceutical, healthcare, cosmetics, and environment related industries. The course content will facilitate understanding of interfacial phenomena, application of chemical engineering knowledge at gas-liquid, gas-solid and liquid-solid interfaces, and will include illustrative case studies. Upon completion of the course, you will possess basic skills in interface related process and product design relevant to the above-mentioned industries.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
This course addresses the following Program Learning Outcomes:
Knowledge and Skill Base
1.1. Comprehensive, theory based understanding of the underpinning natural and physical sciences and the engineering fundamentals applicable to the engineering discipline.
1.2. In-depth understanding of specialist bodies of knowledge within the engineering discipline.
1.3. Discernment of knowledge development and research directions within the engineering discipline.
Engineering Application Ability
2.1. Application of established engineering methods to complex engineering solving.
2.2. Fluent application of engineering techniques, tools and resources.
2.3. Application of systematic engineering synthesis and design processes.
2.4. Application of systematic approaches to the conduct and management of engineering projects.
On completion of this course you should be able to:
- Understand, identify and apply the key physicochemical phenomena that affect processes and products of a particular industry sector.
- Apply chemical engineering principles to investigate certain industrial processes and products.
- Apply chemical engineering principles to the design of certain processes and products within a particular industry sector.
Overview of Learning Activities
You will be actively engaged in a range of learning activities such as lectorials, tutorials, practicals, laboratories, seminars, project work, class discussion, individual and group activities. Delivery may be face to face, online or a mix of both.
You are encouraged to be proactive and self-directed in your learning, asking questions of your lecturer and/or peers and seeking out information as required, especially from the numerous sources available through the RMIT library, and through links and material specific to this course that is available through myRMIT Studies Course.
Overview of Learning Resources
RMIT will provide you with resources and tools for learning in this course through myRMIT Studies Course.
There are services available to support your learning through the University Library. The Library provides guides on academic referencing and subject specialist help as well as a range of study support services. For further information, please visit the Library page on the RMIT University website and the myRMIT student portal.
