Learning outcomes

Competence field 1: Competency in one or more scientific disciplines

Possess advanced, theoretically profound, knowledge of the own engineering discipline and the ability to apply this knowledge in a creative and critical way to new, complex problems.
Be able to design innovative products or processes using appropriate or autonomously developed and validated models and techniques, using recent digital technologies.
Demonstrate integrative and system-oriented problem-solving thinking under uncertain and conflicting conditions, with attention for the correct level of abstraction.
Be able to formulate a research question from a complex scientific problem, after in-depth study of relevant and state-of-the-art scientific literature.
Be able to critically interpret and communicate one's own results in English to both experts and laypersons and defend decisions made.
Be able to position oneself in, and function within an international team, with an understanding of effective leadership and an awareness of cultural sensitivity.
Demonstrate a lifelong learning attitude to keep up with the advancements and developments in scientific research in one’s own discipline and continue to develop one's competencies.
Act according to the principles of research integrity, professional deontology and ethics.
Demonstrate sustainability thinking, entrepreneurial skills, and pay attention to the role of science, technology and innovation in addressing societal issues from various perspectives, and in an international context.
Critically reflect on one's own thinking and actions, and act according to the limitations of one's competencies in a conscientious and responsible manner.
Develop innovative methodologies by integrating expert-knowledge from various engineering disciplines, including chemistry, physics, and mathematics, to design, optimize, and implement efficient chemical installations and processes.
Utilize creative and original thinking to design and optimize chemical installations, focusing on the application of multi-scale chemical-analytical and mathematical-analytical methods for advanced problem-solving and development.
Apply a comprehensive understanding of chemical reactions and kinetics, reactor design and process technology to make solution-focused decisions regarding material choice and apparatus design in chemical engineering applications.
Emphasize sustainability and efficiency in managing the entire lifecycle of systems, machines, and processes, considering environmental impact, energy efficiency, raw material utilization, and labor costs.
Focus on ensuring reliability, safety, and environment in all aspects of chemical engineering practices, addressing the critical need for responsible and safe operational environments.
