Chemical engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with manufacture of products through chemical processes and the technologies of chemical production. This study field is based on combination of physical sciences, life sciences, mathematics and economics. Chemical engineering differs from chemistry because of focusing on large scales. This study field has two groups: the first group deals with chemical processes (design, manufacture and operation of plants and machinery), while the second group deals with new substances development. Graduates can work at various industries, especially oil and petrochemical industry, nuclear energy, food production, development of new sources of energy and medicine.
Technical University of Munich
This 6-week intensive program offers a nanotechnology lecture and a lab course in English, with site visits to 10 leading research centres, and an intensive German language course. It is directed to undergraduates of science and engineering who have completed an introduction to quantum mechanics or quantum chemistry.
Technical University of Denmark (DTU)
During experiments with process equipment in semi technical scale the possibilities and limitations of the theory are compared with the practical experiences. In addition an improved understanding of the processes, equipment design, operational conditions, measuring techniques etc. is achieved. Training in industrial report writing.
Aalborg University
The aim of the course is to give a detailed overview of different biorefinery concepts and to present how different types of biomass can serve as feedstock for the production of biofuels, chemical raw materials and animal feed.
Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona
Theoretical and practical training in the tools Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Carbon Footprint (CF). Introduce students to the calculation of global environmental impacts through computer programs and two case studies.
University of Copenhagen
The course will introduce the participants to state-of-art electrochemical and optical microsensor and imaging techniques and to their application in the environmental sciences.
