📖Program Curriculum
This course is an integrated programme and is distinctive as it covers the theory of chemical engineering coupled with computer simulation laboratory practice and industrial placement that enable graduates to be well equipped with desired skills sought after by employers.
The course has the added value of introducing topics that are important for the future energy mixed with a focus on renewables as well as oil and gas. It consists of modules with a total credit value of 480 credits which are made up of 20 standard modules of 20 points each and a design project module of 40 points in third and group project module of 40 points in fourth.
Each you need to complete 120 credits. In the first you are introduced to basic engineering principles and design and fundamentals of chemical engineering. The second focusses on core unit operations such as fluid flow thermodynamics chemical reactions separation processes process design and simulation and control. In the third the course trains you in specific areas of sustainable energy energy technologies and earth resources of energy. You apply all the knowledge gained in your previous study into design project covering from raw materials to final desired products. In the fourth and final you further learn at an advanced level about energy technologies and subsurface engineering as well as undertaking a research project.
