2 External Examiner Name: Professor Yulong Ding External Examiner Institution/Organisation University of Birmingham Does the Programme have any approved exemptions from the University General Regulations (Please see General Regulations) Programme Specific Regulations Students with protected characteristics Are students subject to Fitness to Practise Regulations (Please see General Regulations) Length of Programme Yes No X (If yes, please state here any exemptions to regulations which have been approved for this programme) All six taught module must be passed before progression to the project. Failure to achieve this threshold will result in transfer to the Diploma or Certificate pathways No Fitness to Practise programmes are those which permit students to enter a profession which is itself subject to Fitness to Practise rules 1 year

3 Educational Aims of Programme On completion of the programme the student will be able to: Demonstrate the intellectual, practical, and professional research skills relating to, analysis, interpretation and understanding of chemical Process Engineering principles and issues. Apply the key concepts of management, sustainability, sustainable development, and risk assessment-based approaches in a Process Engineering environment. Learning Outcomes: Cognitive Skills On the completion of this course successful students will be able to: Critically review their work, as well as that reported by others, as available in the public domain. Identify and assess risk within a working, industrial environment Teaching/Learning Methods and Strategies Lectures; problem classes and seminars; design projects; research project. Feedback from formative assessments and draft dissertations enables students to build and develop these problem solving skills Lectures; problem classes and seminars; design projects; research project. All projects have an industrial context whether there is direct involvement from a specific company or not dissertations; oral presentations; dissertations; oral presentations; experimental reports design experiments to generate new data Design projects; research project project dissertations; oral presentations evaluate designs of processes and products, and make improvements maintain a sound theoretical approach to the introduction of new and advancing technology Design projects; research project. The evaluation of new experiments and processes builds on the practical and analytical skills developed at undergraduate level Lectures; problem classes and seminars; research project; industrial visits for those students with a specific industrial sponsor. New advances in technology are maintained and refreshed in the programme project dissertations; oral presentations Written examinations; class tests; project dissertations;

4 Learning Outcomes: Transferable Skills On the completion of this course successful students will Teaching/Learning Methods and be able to: Strategies Demonstrate effective written and oral communication skills Design projects; research project project dissertations; oral presentations Apply IT and computer aided design and modelling skills to both generic and subject specific problems Apply numerical and analytical skills to a wide range of industrial and environmental problems Computer-based workshops and problem classes; design projects; research project. Computing and IT plays a central role in many of the experimental design activities across the programme Lectures; problem classes and seminars; research project dissertations; oral presentations; computer-based examinations and tests Written examinations; class tests; project dissertations; Learning Outcomes: Knowledge and Understanding On the completion of this course successful students will be able to: demonstrate knowledge and understanding of essential facts, concepts, principles and theories within chemical engineering have a sound grasp of chemistry, physics and mathematics as applied to the technological base of chemical engineering demonstrate knowledge and understanding of business and management techniques within an engineering context Teaching/Learning Methods and Strategies Lectures; design projects; research project; independent laboratory experiments; guided independent study. Lectures; independent laboratory experiments; design and research projects Lectures; design projects. Depending on the nature and industry involvement, these might also be a core part of the research project. dissertations; experimental reports dissertations; experimental reports dissertations; oral presentations Learning Outcomes: Subject Specific Skills On the completion of this course successful students will be able to select and apply appropriate mathematical methods for modelling and analysing chemical engineering problems use scientific principles in the development of chemical engineering solutions to practical problems Teaching/Learning Methods and Strategies Computer-based workshops and problem classes; research project; lectures; guided independent study. Lectures and seminars; design projects; research project; independent laboratory Written examinations; computer-based examinations and tests; project dissertations Written examinations; computer-based examinations and tests; project
