This course introduces the basic principles and concepts of chemical engineering thermodynamics. Whilst providing insights into the meaning and properties of fundamental thermodynamic quantities, the course also has a primary focus on the application of thermodynamic concepts to real chemical engineering problems.

This is a general chemistry course aimed at first year undergraduate students in the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering (D-MAVT) and graduate students in the Department of Architecture (D-ARCH).

The course introduces the fundamentals of microfluidic technology and explores various applications in microbiology and chemistry through hands-on experience and live demonstrations.

This module provides an overview of safety in the chemical industry, focusing on toxicology, industrial hygiene, fires and explosions, hazards identification and risk assessment. It also introduces the fundamentals of environmental impact studies, focusing on life cycle assessment.
