Programme description

  • 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

    The course is based on MEK1000 Mathematics 1000,MAPE2000 Mathematics 2000, MEK1100 Physics and Chemistry/MEK1400 Physics, MAPE1300 Mechanics and MATS1500 Material Science and Engineering,

  • Required preliminary courses

    None.

  • Learning outcomes

    After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and competence.

    Knowledge

    • can explain process and technical components, and their drawing symbols
    • can read drawings and process flow charts (P&ID)
    • can explain current codes and knowledge about associated standards
    • has basic knowledge about software related to the field

    Skills

    The student

    • is able to prepare process flow charts, pipe arrangement drawings and isometric drawings
    • is able to calculate flow forces
    • can execute calculations loads on a pipe system
    • is able to perform stress and flexibility analyzes
    • can dimension trailers and bearings
    • can construct expansion joints

    General competence

    The student

    • is able to construct and dimension a process plant using relevant theory, use of professional software, knowledge of standards and use of equipment catalogs

  • Teaching and learning methods

    Lectures, practice and project assignments.

  • Course requirements

    The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can take the exam:

    • Three project assignments

  • Assessment

    An individual three-hour written exam.

    The exam grade can be appealed.

    In the event of a resit or rescheduled exam, an oral examination may be used instead. In case an oral exam is used, the examination result cannot be appealed.

  • Permitted exam materials and equipment

    A handheld calculator that cannot be used for wireless communication or to perform symbolic calculations. If the calculator’s internal memory can store data, the memory must be deleted before the exam. Random checks may be carried out.

  • Grading scale

    Grade scale A-F.

  • Examiners

    One internal examiner. The course may be selected for grading by external examiners.
