Collaborative City Planning Strategies (BPLN0033)

This project-based module provides future urban design and city planning professionals with knowledge and skills for critical analysis and diagnosis of urban environments as the basis to develop planning and design propositions.

It provides an opportunity for students to engage with and contribute to the production of knowledge, evidence and tools in collaboration with community-led organisations and focuses on the collection, presentation and analysis of local and locally produced information and on the diagnostic stage of the city planning and urban design process.

Integrated Building Systems Simulation (BENV0088)

The module will provide an understanding of development and optimized operation of efficient building systems as a part of the integrated system of building fabric, building space, occupants, building services and controls. Students will be introduced to modelling of universal HVACR systems with an emphasis on understanding both system’s primary (energy generation) side and secondary (energy distribution) side as well as understanding of the system’s integration in a building. Students will learn about the use of operational data for: model calibration, control inefficiency and systems performance degradation identification.

Rapid Fermentation Process Development (BENG0067)

This module aims to provide students with an engineering understanding of fermentation process design in terms of mixing, power input and oxygen transfer. It also aims to expose students to miniaturized and high throughput fermentation technologies for the rapid collection of bioprocess design data. The module also provide students with a framework for the engineering design and scale-up (or scale-down) of a typical fermentation process. This module focuses on the engineering characterisation of fermentation processes and the use of miniaturised and high throughput fermentation technologies to enable rapid fermentation process development and scale-up. The underlying principles of bioreactor design, characterisation and scale-up are introduced through a series of lectures, which are supported by quantitative, problem-based case studies.

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

Gain in-depth knowledge required to design a bioreactor in terms of mixing, power input and oxygen capabilities
	Understand how the engineering environment affects microbial growth kinetics
	Perform design calculations with regards to scale-up and scale-down of a fermentation process
	Appreciate how miniature and high throughput fermentation technologies can be used for the rapid acquisition of design data
