Chemical Engineering Labs and Sustainability - SFC1021

Assessment 1: In-Class Test

For the Chemical Engineering labs, formative assessment will require students to submit small laboratory reports targeted at specific skills, for which feedback will be given, followed by fuller reports incorporating all skills.
 
For Inorganic Chemistry, formative feedback will be provided via an MCQ test in Term 2.

This module covers two distinct areas of learning relevant to chemical engineers: practical chemical engineering laboratory skills; and an introduction to sustainability.
 
The Chemical Engineering Laboratory component of the module engages students with practical laboratory skills in a chemical engineering context.  Students learn skills of safe laboratory practice; data recording, analysis, presentation and interpretation; practical application of fundamental chemical engineering knowledge; and basic technical report writing skills. 
 
The sustainability component of the module introduces students to the fundamental concepts and methodologies in sustainability. It will introduce the 17 sustainable development goals set by the United Nations, as well as covering environment protection, carbon footprint, carbon capture, water footprint and Life cycle assessment.
