Application Areas to Chemical Analysis Engineering

Aim

The course shall exemplify and present different fields and areas in Chemical Analysis Engineering. By analyzing an analytical problem coupled to the presented fields, students working in project groups will get in-depth knowledge which they will present in written and oral form. After the course, students will:

• be able to describe the different areas of Chemical Analysis Engineering, together with concrete industrial examples
• be able to search for relevant literature and produce a technical report for an analytical problem
• perform, plan och document a project work according to a project model
• be able to organize and present information in written and oral form
• be able to evaluate oral communication and perform an opposition.

Content

The course should provide insight into the student's future professional role, relevant issues and working methods, including a model for project work and project documentation. The course will provide an overview and in-depth view of different areas of analytical chemistry will be presented for both small and large companies. Examples of different areas are forensic analyses, environmental analyses, food analyses, pharmaceutical analyses, and medical applications. The course will also provide training and increased knowledge in literature searching, written and oral presentation techniques, as well as opposition.
