By the end of the module, students
- are capable of identifying the process engineering key problems and questions, and of describing them to colleagues or to representatives of clients and ancillary companies.
- broadened their knowledge and understanding of process engineering unit operations as well of special technologies such water processing.
- understand the context of energy and raw material input, processes, production plants including process control equipment.
- master practical skills to solve typical engineering problems in process engineering involving multiphase flows.
- understand the fundamental principles of modelling and simulation, and the statistical experimental design.
- can apply the concept to solve optimization tasks.
- are able to present the results of the experimental work in a report which is structured as an international scientific paper.
