About

About the course

Course content

The specialization project is to be chosen within one of the research groups at the department: Catalysis, Colloid and polymer chemistry, Environmental engineering and reactor technology or Process-system engineering. The project will be given within current research activity in the research group or, in cooperation with faculty, as collaboration with external research institutes or industry. The project work will include the definitions and limitations of the work to be performed and making a schedule. These are followed by literature search in current literature and performing experimental work or theoretical work (e.g. modeling or simulations) followed by the interpretation and reporting of the results.

Learning outcome

Knowledge:

  • The project provides the student with knowledge within one or several central areas of chemical engineering within catalysis, process systems engineering, colloid and polymer chemistry, environmental engineering or reactor technology.

Skills:After the course the student should

  • Have obtained in-debt knowledge in the core topics of the topics.
  • Have skills in independent planning of small R & D work and systematical treatment and interpretation of data and relevant information.
  • Be able to analyse the results and discuss the challenges and opportunities with the proposed solutions. Identify essential aspects for industrial feasibility.
  • Have experience of how to present results both written and orally.Present performed work clearly and concisely.

General competence:

  • After fulfilling the course, the student will have detailed knowledge about the selected industrial challenge. The student will be able to use this competence in projects where these topics are integrated as components or technology elements.
  • Students should understand how their work connects to sustainable development in chemical engineering.

Learning methods and activities

Individual laboratory or project-based work under supervision. The project includes an oral presentation.

Compulsory assignments

  • Presentation

Further on evaluation

Evaluation is based on a written project report. Oral presentation of the work is a mandatory activity.

Expected workload is 200 hours.
