The aims of this module is to:

• Equip students with core chemical and biological knowledge underpinning Chemical Engineering.
• Introduce the principles of sustainability in chemical/biochemical processes.
• Introduce students to industrially significant aspects of chemical/biochemical processes and microbiology.
• Familiarise students to risk analysis procedures and experimental planning processes.

The aim of this module is to:

• Introduce the commercial, social and environmental context of engineering design, including sustainability and ethics, process economics, and EDI.
• Introduce a structured approach to engineering design, applying the principles of mechanical design, engineering drawings, and professional standards.
• Promote the development of key professional and transferable engineering skills from teamwork and time management to written and verbal communication and personal development.
• Provide perspective of engineering careers within different sectors and industries.

The aims of this module are to:

• Impart the fundamentals of formulating material and energy balances for chemical engineering processes such as mixing, reactions and separations.
• Analyse steady and unsteady state reactors by using material and energy balances.
• Understand the concept of phase equilibrium and analyse single and multiple stage equilibrium processes using equilibrium relationships and material balances.
• Produce process flow block diagrams and stream tables to describe chemical engineering processes.

The aims of this module are to:

• Introduce the fundamental concepts of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.
• Solve practical engineering problems using thermodynamics and fluid mechanics principles.

The aims of this module are to:

• Provide a thorough understanding of the fundamental concepts and modes of heat and mass transfer.
• Solve problems relating to conduction, convection, and radiation modes of heat transfer.
• Enable students to select, size and rate heat exchangers and estimate process heat duty.
• Introduce the fundamental concepts of mass transfer theory and calculations.

The aims of this module are to reinforce and extend students' previous exposure to mathematics with an emphasis on the techniques required to solve problems arising in chemical engineering.
