This course presents the principles and methodology for product
and process design. In particular, it emphasises on the key
elements of process design which include process
creation/synthesis, process analysis, process evaluation and
process optimisation in generating inherently safe, economic and
environmentally friendly processes.
The course features
extensive use of process simulation tools through group as well as
individual project works.

This course covers management strategies to enhance the quality
of water, air, and noise system. Various management options are
evaluated. Students are exposed to the Environmental Impact
Assessment methods and the use of models in assessing
environmental impacts.
Various non conventional waste
management options were considered via several case studies
where students look at environmental problem solving in a
different perspective from normal end of pipe treatments.
Students have to do a group project and 1 individual project
which will enhance student’s ability to work as a team and also to
encourage students to thinks laterally.
