Course content

Major Subject: Sustainable Process Engineering
The major subject includes thorough courses on product, process and plant design. The goals of modern engineering work, such as sustainability, innovativeness and interdisciplinary methodology, are emphasized in addition to more traditional, but still important economical and technological objectives. Deep phenomenological description of the most important unit processes is included. Moreover, courses on specific unit operations can be chosen from a wide list.

Minor Subject: Advanced Design Methodology
The minor topic gives students skills and knowledge for process design and R&D. The development of new technology and innovations is emphasized in the programme. Therefore courses such as creative design, process intensification and process modeling are included. In addition, courses on important computational tools, e.g. process simulation and computational fluid dynamics, belong to the subject.
