Process Engineering Ib
Goal
This course spans over the whole of the autumn semester with 2h/wk lectures time.
The purpose of this course is to build on the fundamental understanding of biological processes and wastewater treatment applications that were studied in Process Engineering Ia (102-0217-00L). Case studies that are jointly discussed in class and student-led projects allow to advance the understanding and critical analysis of biological treatment processes.
Course objectives
By the end of the course, students should be able to do the following:
- Process understanding and process integration: Apply the basic principles learned in Process Engineering Ia (102-0217-00L) for design, modeling, and critical assessment. Integrate existing information and extend your knowledge by independent study.
- Scientific or technical evaluation: Identify a specific scientific or engineering question and develop an approach to answer this question using mathematical modeling; provide a critical discussion of your answer; report your results in a research paper and an oral presentation.
- Teamwork: State principles of effective team performance and the functions of different team roles; work effectively in problem-solving teams.
- Communication: Communicate and document your findings in concise group presentations and a written report.
