Aim:
The course wants give an insight into the work of an engineer within chemical- and biotechnology. In the communication part you are trained in presenting material orally and in written. In the technical part you will meet experienced engineers and learn about their different professions. You will also learn about the chemical and biotechnological industry within Sweden. The three profiles of the programme, chemical engineering, biotechnology and environmental engineering, are presented.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)


Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
The course continues over the whole first year of the programme. It is composed of two integrated parts: Communication (1,5p) and Chemical- and Bioengineering. Engineering part: Lectures, group work, study visit. Communication part: lectures and seminars. Both parts end with a common report that should be presented both orally and in written. The report is normally done in groups of three students.

Course contents:
Engineering part: Introduction to the chemical and biotechnological industry within Sweden. The Chemical and Biological Engineers assignments. Study visits in small groups at industry in the region. A report is done with researcher or research students at LiU as supervisors. The three profiles of the programme, chemical engineering, biotechnology and environmental engineering, are presented. Communication part: Technical information, Layout, Technical reports, Presentation technique, How to argue.
