Planning for Sustainability and Inclusion (BPLN0102)

This module provides students with an understanding of how broader governance processes for the urban scale can deliver more sustainable and inclusive outcomes, including an appreciation of the role of different policy instruments and policy integration. The module also aims to develop critical awareness of the politics and governance mechanisms shaping more sustainable and inclusive cities, through a theoretically-informed exploration of issues and debates surrounding environmental and urban policy at local, national and international scales. The module explores the substantive yet contested role of public participation to explore the opportunities and challenges of more inclusive forms of policy-making and the implications for sustainability.

Comparative Planning Systems and Cultures (BPLN0038)

This module which is composed of lectures and seminar group discussions examines the different approaches to and systems underlying planning in different national contexts. It covers a number of analytical themes and concrete challenges that potentially are common to different national planning approaches and systems but also seeks to draw out the contingencies of various national planning systems.

Bioprocess Design and Economic Evaluation (BENG0064)

The module aims to provide understanding as to how to specify and recommend bioprocess options and upgrades, whilst being aware of the sensitivity of the overall costs required to implement changes in key process parameters. The module focuses on how to specify a flowsheet and the constituent unit operations for a complex bioprocess example and determine its economic feasibility. The use of engineering tools such as process flowsheets and mass balances together with economic analyses to recommend new processes are demonstrated.

Upon completion of the course, a student should be able to:

Specify a major item of process equipment
	Interpret engineering drawings used in equipment procurement
	Perform economic analyses of the process and determine sensitivities to process changes
	Evaluate cost effectiveness under different scenarios
	Recommend a process that is technically feasible and economically viable
	Determine the types of data needed to specify unit operations and processes
	Develop process flowsheets and mass balances
