Course history

Introduction

The course addresses the engineering work that forms the basis of building a process plant. It includes calculations in process technology, preparation of drawings and selection of equipment and components. The field is theoretically demanding, but also requires practical sense.

Recommended preliminary courses

Some of the concepts from ELPE1300 Electrical Circuits, ELPE1400 Digital Design, ELI2300 Dynamic Systems will be useful.

Required preliminary courses

None.
