CHE4165 · Integrated industrial project 2

Overview

This unit offers you the opportunity to work in-depth on a significant project, gain first-hand experience of professional practice in the industry, apply skills and knowledge gained to date to a real-life situation and study new topics in an industrial context. Projects are set up by the industrial partner and academic supervisor and include tackling open-ended industrial problems, project management, process safety and process economics. A limited number of places are offered each year. This unit completes the project that you commenced in CHE4164.
