MEng Chemical Engineering with Industrial Experience

The practical nature of chemical engineering makes any industrial experience gathered whilst studying an invaluable asset.  The MEng (Hons) Chemical Engineering with Industrial Experience course complies with the requirements for MEng accreditation by the Institution of Chemical Engineers.  The accredited MEng course must include everything currently covered by a BEng, but with the following additional features:

i.          advanced depth in chemical engineering (deeper penetration of knowledge and understanding than has previously been acquired in the degree programme)

ii.          advanced breadth in chemical engineering (exposure to topics additional to those that would normally be considered as core chemical engineering)

iii.         advanced chemical engineering practice (application of chemical engineering techniques and, if possible, innovative design).

The prime function of the skills portfolio is to demonstrate that the industrial experience year has fulfilled the requirements of a MEng degree. This report provides evidence of the advanced technical and transferable skills acquired during the industrial experience year.

The Skills Portfolio is a document in which the advanced technical and transferable skills developed during the industrial experience year are outlined, providing supporting evidence for the skills acquired. For each of these skills, it is expected that a brief description of the skill developed, including relevant theory or background information, and an example illustrating the application of the skill in the context of the placement will be provided. Additionally, an IChemE Initial Professional Development Report is completed, mapping the acquired skills onto the IPD framework.
