Overview
Water is essential for manufacturing, chemical, food and industrial processes. As a water process engineer, you’ll be an expert in the process engineering that produces safe, clean, and quality water from irrigation to food production, and process water from industrial production or mining. You’ll learn how to apply your knowledge … For more content click the Read More button below.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Demonstrate knowledge and expertise in the use of the methods, tools and ideas from chemistry, microbiology, mathematics, physics, sustainability, ecology, and computing that underpin water process engineering.
2.
Solve engineering problems in the management and processing of water by competent application of technical knowledge in areas including chemistry, microbiology, analytical chemistry, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, transport phenomena, process technologies, separation technologies.
3.
Use systems thinking to guide engineering practice, including articulating constraints on process design, resource usage, developing process improvement plans, and liaising with scientists and engineers from other disciplines to develop appropriate and robust processes.
4.
Make responsible engineering decisions in the face of uncertainty, complexity, and incomplete information in consultation with stakeholders, via critical reflection, and through the planning, collection, and analysis of data from research, experimentation and simulations.
5.
Communicate complex multidisciplinary ideas effectively and professionally through a range of media to diverse audiences within and outside of water process engineering.
6.
Conduct themselves professionally, ethically, and respectfully, being accountable as an individual, as members of teams, and as a leader of teams, while recognising the social and environmental obligations of water process engineers.
