Issues with respect to the sustainability, safety, engineering profession and careers are introduced, Laboratory, Pilot Plant or Industry visits will be incorporated into the course to reinforce understanding of the manufacturing process. Students will also gain skills in information literacy via accessing and analysing sources of engineering and chemistry related information.
