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 part A the student
1. can draw PI-diagrams, lay out and define utilities, emissions and waste of the plant
2. can define equipment specification and instructions
3. can apply out safety (HAZOP) analysis of the process
4. can calculate capital investment, operating cost, production cost, analyze profitability and financial planning and business model
5. can demonstrate team work, presentation, management and leadership skills in real plant design
