Aims:

The module aims to develop modelling concepts and simulation skills to consider complex process design in the context of safety and sustainable process plant development.

Learning Outcomes:

On completion of this module, the students will be expected to be:

able to develop computational models for complex plant items;
	able to use contemporary simulation tools to modelling process behaviour;
	able to make informed decisions on process design based on conflicting and missing information in the context of safety and sustainable process plant development
Synopsis:

The following issues will be considered:

process systems engineering
	process modelling
	process synthesis
	process optimisation
	dynamic simulation
	control system design
Lectures, tutorials and e-learning resources will provide training in the techniques and tools required to carry out design projects applying advanced design concepts and computational tools.

Professional Skills in Civil Engineering (CEGE0102)

This module will introduce you to the civil engineering profession. In particular it will introduce commonly used tools, and the professional skillset and behaviours needed to be a successful civil engineer. Specific components will include: introduction to professional practice in civil engineering, critical thinking and problem solving, team working, ethics for engineers, sourcing information and technical literature, visualization, introduction to engineering drawing and sketching, introduction to AutoCAD, introduction to Geographic Information Systems (GIS), industry standards and professional conduct. All material will be discipline-specific to Civil Engineering. The aim of this module is for you to develop your awareness and knowledge of key professional skills required in Civil Engineering today. You will draw on these skills across a range of activities during your first year, including: Challenges, Scenarios A & B, and the Lampeter surveying field course. The course is delivered by lectures, drawing workshops and software practicals.

Learning Outcomes

Ability to self-appraise against a number of key development objectives, linked to the chartership process for civil engineers;
 Development of knowledge in the main topic areas outlined above;
 Development of software proficiency in AutoCAD and GIS;
 Improvement of communication skills through the development of proficiency in technical drawing and sketching.
