Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After the course the student
*has hands on experience in experimental laboratory work or simulation or process modelling
*understands the operation principles of the laboratory scale apparatus
*is capable of working independently
*is capable of writing a proper technical report
*can analyze obtained experimental data and draw appropriate conclusions

Prerequisites
  • Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:

    Laboratory safety course CHEM-A1010 or CHEM-E0140 (or alternatively, laboratory safety as part of courses CHEM-A1000 or CHEM-E0100 taught before Academic Year 2017-2018) must have been passed before performing any laboratory works in this course.

Registration for Courses
  • Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:

    Sisu

    Only available for students of Chemical and Process Engineering major.

  • Applies in this implementation:

    The course collects
    under one roof the experimental exercises provided by three research groups
    Chemical Engineering, Industrial Chemistry, and Polymer Technolgy. As these
    research groups form the core of the traditional chemical engineering
    curriculum the course provides a wide variety of exercises covering various
    reaction types and separation units along with laboratory techniques and
    methods needed in research and development in process industry.

      

    The
    student has to attend the opening
    lecture of the course where practicalities and safety aspects of
    laboratory work are reviewed.

    Further, the student have to
    perform a set of various laboratory exercises. These exercises has a preset
    value of study credits. This set of experiments has to be chosen in such a way
    that the student collects all together 5
    cr
     of work from the list of the experiments provided by the research
    groups. The student have to complete the reports of each of these exercise. It
    is advised to collect exercises from all of the research groups.
