The Faculty of Engineering has developed a flexible, multi-disciplinary training package in Sustainable Engineering, leading to the award of MSc, Postgraduate Diploma or Postgraduate Certificate. Sustainable Engineering involves the responsible use of natural resources at a rate, and in a manner, which does not compromise the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In practical terms, this requires engineers to make effective use of materials and energy, to mitigate the associated environmental impacts, and to incorporate concepts such as life cycle analysis, disassembly and re-use within their design process. We offer a theme course in Chemical Processing and the package comprises three main elements :
Part A: Instructional Modules
Offered on a full time basis in the first and second semesters (depending on modules selected), 3 generic modules address the principles, concepts and issues which underpin a sustainable approach to engineering design and 4 specialist chemical engineering modules completed the theme element.
Part B: Group Project
Working in groups, students undertake a design project, normally within an industrial test bed or in association with an appropriate design or industrial organisation.
Part C: Individual Project
Projects typically entail an in-depth study of an issue (or set of issues) identified from the Part B activities.
