Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities
It is assumed that you have successfully completed all earlier year chemical engineering (PROC XXXX) courses and that you are familiar with inherent vocabulary, concepts and techniques. If the study unit you choose was presented at an introductory level in PROC2087 Chemical Engineering Specialisation, then you will be assumed to have completed that introductory unit.
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. You will be given a limited choice of modules from which you will select one (although some choices may have to be later withdrawn if there is insufficient demand).
Typical modules are environmental engineering; fluid and particle processes; metallurgical engineering; oil & gas engineering and food engineering. New modules may be added and old modules deleted annually depending on the availability of specialist staff.
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:
- Identify and elaborate the key characteristics of a particular industry sector
- Apply chemical engineering principles to investigate certain industrial processes.
- Apply chemical engineering principles to the design of certain unit operations within a particular industry sector.
The above skills and abilities will need to be demonstrated to a greater depth of complexity than expected in PROC2087 Chemical Engineering Specialisation.
Overview of Learning Activities
You will attend lectures and work both individually and collaboratively in tutorials and on assignments with your peers. The course is supported by the University learning management system.
Total study hours: You will undertake the equivalent of three hours per week in lectures and tutorials. In addition you can expect to spend a minimum of three hours per week in independent study.
Overview of Learning Resources
A range of materials, including slides used in lectures, will be available on the University learning management system.
Support can also be found at RMIT Library Guides: http://rmit.libguides.com/chemicaleng
