Requisites:
Learning Outcomes: After successfully completing this unit, you will be able to:
* Plan and execute experimental activities, and report on resulting findings (A3.2i, A3.2j) [CLO: T3, T5]
* Interpret and analyse experimental data using judgement from literature and other sources. (A3.2j, A3.2k) [CLO: I2]
* Plan, manage and organise team activities to achieve session outcomes (A4.2f, A5.2c, A5.2d, A5.2g) [CLO T2, T6]
* Begin to exercise initiative and personal responsibility (A5.2d, 5.2g, A5.2h) [CLO T2, T6]
* Understand and apply principles of safety, risk assessment, loss prevention, and apply systematic methods for identifying process hazards (A2.6b, A2.6c, A2.6d, A2.6e) [CLO K3]
* Be aware of relevant codes of practice, industry standards, and legal requirements governing engineering activities (A3.2d) [CLO K3]


Synopsis: Work in small groups in our undergraduate labs and explore further tools for assessing safety in the design and operation of plants and ethical considerations in your decision making. Another group design project helps you consolidate the skills developed in your second year of study. Presenting technical information in a variety of ways allows you to improve your technical communication skills.

Content:
* Engaging in open-ended research and deliver a set of targets by exploring an experimental space
* Risk assessment and hazard analysis of various unit operations
* Introduction to industrial safety assessment techniques
* Workplace culture and relationships over ethical behaviour and decision-making.

Skills:
* Problem solving [T,F,A]
* Digital skills [T,F,A]
* Awareness of H&S [T,F,A)
* Awareness of ethics [T,F,A]
* Team working [T,F]
* Communication [T,F,A]

Aims: This unit will introduce you to planning and carrying out engineering experimentations. You will perform a risk assessment of apparatus and hazardous substances required in the chemical and biochemical engineering industries. This will allow you to enhance your abilities to interpret and present technical information. You will work in teams to engage in open-ended research and apply cultural and ethical considerations to real-life engineering problems.
