| Summary | The School of Engineering undergraduate degrees in Chemical Engineering are accredited by The Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE). Requirements are specified in the Accreditation of Higher Education Programmes (AHEP), and include gaining practical skills.
Students on an Engineering degree will gain these skills as part of laboratory work that is undertaken in a variety of courses throughout the programme specified in the relevant Degree Programme Table. This course marks the successful completion of these practical elements by complementing learning outcomes not addressed in earlier practical courses as a consequence of the disruption to traditional laboratory delivery.
More specifically:
- have a knowledge and understanding of laboratory practice, and able to operate bench (or larger) scale chemical engineering equipment;
- be able to undertake well-planned experimental work;
- gain the necessary psychomotor and sensor awareness to have a

| Course description |
Students will achieve a pass in this course when they have completed the following activities:
- Create effective risk assessments related to the laboratory and the experiments;
- Experimental planning before hands-on practice;
- Hands-on practical experience on operating bench or pilot scale chemical engineering equipment.
