Introduction to Sustainable Process Engineering
Online | Face-to-face
Overview
This course will help you to develop a broad understanding of sustainability and its application to the chemical and process industries.
Centred around the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the course covers how they relate to the industries that chemical and process engineers work in. This includes what the issues are, the responsibility of businesses and organisations to take a sustainability-first approach, and how chemical engineers can use their skills to help their business achieve their own goals that will, in turn, contribute to achieving the UN SDGs.
Learning outcomes
By the end of this course, you will:
- understand the contributions that chemical and process engineers can make to the delivery of sustainability
- understand how chemical and process engineering principles can contribute to sustainability
- be aware of the sustainability issues, obligations, and responsibilities of chemical and process engineers
- have a better understanding of ‘sustainability thinking’.
Who will benefit
