–  Number of credits: 3 (theory)

– Prerequisites/Previous subjects: no

–  Course Description: This subject aims at providing the abilities of design Piping and Control System for water/wastewater Treatment Plant. The subject provides the knowledge of pipes and fitting, pumps air blowers and electrical control systems for water/ wastewater treatment plant.

60) Treatment Plant Operation

–  Number of credits: 3 (theory)

– Prerequisite: no/Previous subject: no

–  Course Description: This course provides the fundamentals for cost-effective, safe and lawful operation of wastewater or sanitation treatment systems. This course provides skill of experimental set- up used for operation units of wastewater treatment plants. It also provides the basics on environmental legislation and regulations, risk management and HSE.

61) Research Methodology

–  Number of credits: 3 (theory)

– Prerequisite: no/Previous subject: no

–  Course Description: Lectures include an introduction to scientific research, research planning and proposal development, experimental design and hypothesis testing, publication procedure with focus on thesis preparation. Students are requested to conduct a course project that is used to evaluate how theory is applied in practice as well as to develop inter-personal skills.

62) Research 1

–  Number of credits: 1 (practice)

– Prerequisite: no/Previous subject: no

–  Course Description: This course belongs to a series of three courses offered to the students in their 3rd year and the 1st semester of the 4th year. The course is designed to allow the students to be exposed to a wide variety of research areas in Chemical Engineering through participation in laboratory group. The students will learn to devise hypotheses, design experiments that test their hypotheses, record their data in laboratory notebooks, critically analyze the results of their analyses, and present their findings to others.

63) Research 2

–  Number of credits: 1 (practice)

– Prerequisite: Study 1/Previous subject: no

–  Course Description: This course belongs to a series of three courses offered to the students in their 3rd year and the 1st semester of the 4th year. The course is designed to allow the students to be exposed to a wide variety of research areas in Chemical Engineering through participation in laboratory group. The students will learn to devise hypotheses, design experiments that test their hypotheses, record their data in laboratory notebooks, critically analyze the results of their analyses, and present their findings to others.

64) Internship

–  Number of credits: 2 (practice)

– Prerequisite: complete 70% of total credits/Previous subject: no

–  Course Description: This is the internship of students before doing their thesis work. The objectives of internship are to provide the students an opportunity to study, observe, and practice as well as collect the data for their thesis and opportunities for seeking their jobs in the future. This course provides the students with essential skills and experiences for a bachelor, including technical analysis and problem solving, experiment and proving the hypothesis based on the experimental results, ability to think creatively, ability to evaluate the chemical engineering problem in the “real world”. In addition, students have chance to know the social context and business environment, to form an idea and build the system, to design processes in a specific condition of the company.

65) Thesis

–  Number of credits: 12 (practice)

– Prerequisite: Internship, complete 90% of total credits/Previous subject: no

–  Course Description: The thesis works are implemented under the instruction of one or more teachers. The purpose of the course is applying learnt knowledge systematically to solve environmental problems. The topic, including theory, research, or real application, will be proposed by the teacher or students and have to be approved by the Head of Department.
