The project is problem based with a bioprocess or chemical process focus involving reaction engineering adn process modeling.

Learning objectives

Knowledge

Students who have passed the module should be able to

• describe general  flowsheets  from  a process engineering perspective
• explain unit operations used in processes

Skills

• apply chemical reaction engineering, heat and mass transfer, mathematical modeling
• develop a process level model for chemical and biochemical production process.
• write an electronic project report following the standards of the field of study, include relevant literature, use the correct terminology, and formulate and communicate the problem and results in writing, graphically and orally in a professionally reasoned and coherent way
• use relevant software to simulate the  process and  analyze and visualize theories, hypotheses and data in writing as well as orally
• justify the choice of literature, methods, models and other tools used in the project and asses the problem of the project and results in relevant professional contexts and in relation to literature

Competences

• handle the planning, implementation and management of a problem based project and handle complex and development-oriented tasks during the project work and contribute to the project group's work and results
