Summary
The aim of the course is to teach students to apply the knowledge of the subject Chemical Engineering to more complex problems. Students solve the assignments in groups, that is also familiar with the principles of team work.
Students drawn up to tackle a written report and the results of work argue in a joint presentation.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
- to learn to solve complex engineering problems and present the results
obtained
- to solve specific chemical engineering problems
- to orientation in the sources of physical and chemical data
- to work in a team
- to present the results
Course Contents
The aim of the course is to teach students to apply the knowledge of the subject Chemical Engineering to more complex problems, such as to problems involving several unit operations. Problems awarded to students to solve simulate (on the difficulty level corresponding to the knowledge students) problems whose solutions are graduates encounter in operational practice. Students solve the assignments in groups (usually two-man), that is also familiar with the principles of team work. Approach to solving complex: problem analysis, solution selection methods, and data needed to find their own solution to the problem. Students drawn up to tackle a written report and the results of work argue in a joint presentation, taking part in all involved students and teachers.
