Course description
Process engineering applies the principles of transforming raw materials into useful products or converting energy from one form to another. These processes, essential to many industries, have huge importance for the decarbonisation agenda. This short course will introduce you to the fundamental principles of process systems engineering and methods and the latest developments toward decarbonising energy production and industrial processes.
Encouraged by a huge success in the last year, Cranfield University will re-run the short course in early June this year.
Upcoming start dates
Suitability - Who should attend?
This training is suitable for process, energy engineers, chemical engineers and mechanical engineers working towards decarbonisation in their fields, industrial professionals who wish to upskill in process and systems engineering, postdoctoral researchers and early career researchers working in net zero research fields.
Outcome / Qualification etc.
This short course is supported by the Centre for Postdoctoral Development in Infrastructure Cities and Energy (C-DICE)
On successful completion of this course you will be able to:
- Identify and analyse the concepts and principals of process systems engineering and their potential applications to different engineering problems,
- Assess and analyse appropriate approaches to the collection and interpretation of data in the application of process systems engineering methods,
- Evaluate and select appropriate techniques and tools for the design and operation of process systems,
- Understand the requirements of net-zero emission on process plant’s design and operation.
