Summary
This module covers the necessary pre-requisite skills for further study of Chemical and Environmental Engineering through practical knowledge of Chemistry in a modern industrial context, with a working knowledge of basic chemical principles and practice.
Re-Assessment: The module will be re-assessed through 100% individual examination which will be centrally timetabled exam in the University's resit period.
Assessment
- 40% Practical: Practical Assessment
- 60% Exam 1 (2-hour)
Assessed by end of designated period
Educational Aims
The module aims to ensure that students are able to apply appropriate quantitative science and engineering tools to the analysis, evaluation and synthesis of engineering problems and ensure that students possess relevant practical skills acquired through laboratory work. The context throughout will be orientated towards key features of sustainability, resource management and green chemical and engineering principles.Learning Outcomes
