CHEM ENG 3024 - Professional Practice III

The professional practice of chemical engineering, and related disciplines, relies on a broad range of discipline-specific and transferable professional skills. In this course, key aspects of the professional practice of chemical engineering are studied. These aspects include the fundamental elements of process economics, process safety, sustainability, and the provision of utilities in chemical plants. Issues related to ethics and the responsibilities of professional engineers, project management, risk analysis and decision-making will also be addressed as part of this course. Students will undertake workshops, lectures, projects and case studies. This course follows on from Professional Practice I & II, however the course contents are not directly linked and so students who have not studied these subjects may comfortably attempt this course. The knowledge and skills developed in this course will be applied by students in the final year courses: Plant Design Project and Professional Practice IV.
