Course Contribution Towards fulfilling Professional Goals
Reaction Engineering Kinetics is expected to give a simplified preview of the
Chemical Reaction Engineering science, since it’s the first time that students are exposed to
the a specialized and basic knowledge of one of the main four pillars of Chemical
Engineering. The students are anticipated to learn the basic principles of reaction kinetics
and reactor design. It is also intended to cultivate the understanding of some of the various
problems that are encountered in real reactor design. At the end of the course, the pupils
should be able to understand and analyze kinetic data.
Relationship of Course to Programme Objectives
The course intends to introduce students to the knowledge of Chemical Reaction
Engineering and it’s importance in process design and chemical industry. Also, it should
guide students toward understanding the fundamentals of Chemical Reaction Engineering
and Reactor Design.
