Inorganic Rings, Chains and Clusters (CHEM0031)

This module aims to rationalise the unusual structures and reactivity of inorganic rings, chains and clusters from the point of view of electron counting rules and bonding models and to develop an appreciation of nanochemistry and how these materials can be prepared and utilised.

Students should be able to:

Define what is meant by a ring, chain and cluster.
	Use electron counting rules to predict their structures.
	Describe the synthesis, structures and bonding found in inorganic rings, polymers and clusters
	Appreciate the utility of nano-scaled materials
TEACHING AND LEARNING METHOD

Lectures: The topics will be introduced through a blended delivery of asynchronous videos with online activities, and support hours.

Self-study: In addition to timetabled hours it is expected that you engage in self-study in order to master the material. This can take the form of practicing example questions (additional questions available on Moodle and past exam questions) and further reading in textbooks and online

Advanced Safety and Loss Prevention (CENG0020)

Aims:

To provide students with advanced training in hazard identification, quantification and mitigation as well as risk management.

Learning Outcomes:

On completion students should:

be able to fully appreciate the importance of Safety and Loss Prevention in the process industries;
	be able to identify, quantify and manage hazards in terms of their potential to cause damage to the environment, the work force and the general population outside the perimeter fence;
	be able to apply their knowledge during conceptual design, operation and decommissioning of process plant
Synopsis:

The application of safety as an inherent part of process plant design will be dealt with and procedures for its implementation are discussed.
	Incidents which have been significant in achieving changes in culture will be highlighted.
	Formal present-day requirements of engineering for safety, including the methodology for establishing necessary criteria, implementation and monitoring, verification and validation of safety systems, and responsibility for auditing.
	Basic procedures for Hazard Identification and Development (HAZID), Hazard and Operability Studies (HAZOP) and Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA). Safety Studies, Safety Cases and their development, Safety Management Systems and the role of the Health and Safety Executive.
	Key consequences arising from gas accumulation and dispersion, explosion, escalation and smoke, area classification and transportation.
The Masters level (level 7) version of the module (CENG0020) has a stronger focus on unseen, and more open ended, problem solving.
