Mode of Delivery

On Campus at Joondalup

Learning Outcomes

  1. Demonstrate coherent and advanced knowledge of chemical engineering theory, technical application and research methods relevant to chemical engineering.
  2. Demonstrate coherent and advanced knowledge of industrial control systems including the design of PLC based automation systems.
  3. Demonstrate coherent and advanced knowledge of process systems engineering, systems design and control system principles.
  4. Demonstrate coherent and advanced knowledge of reaction systems and the design of reactor configurations to achieve optimal flow, mixing, heat and mass transfer.
  5. Demonstrate coherent and advanced knowledge of risk management within chemical process applications, including hazard identification, consequence analyses and frequency estimates and risk mitigation.
  6. Demonstrate coherent and advanced knowledge of system operations, modelling and optimisation methods for the purposes of performance enhancement of process operations.
  7. Demonstrate coherent and advanced knowledge of the principles of fluid dynamics and particle mechanics and their application to chemical processing.
  8. Demonstrate coherent and advanced knowledge of thermodynamic systems and heat and mass transfer systems relevant to chemical engineering.
