Handbook

This course covers introductory level scientific and engineering design concepts including sustainable development, and product and processing line management with an emphasis on sustainable manufacturing as the core theme throughout the course. Students will be taught to determine material and energy inputs and outputs for production as well as use of flowsheets and other graphical representations. Issues with respect to the sustainability, safety, engineering profession and careers are introduced, Laboratory, Pilot Plant or Industry visits (where appropriate) will be incorporated into the course to reinforce understanding of the manufacturing process. Students will also gain skills in information literacy via accessing and analysing sources of engineering and chemistry related information.
