Advances in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering
DTU Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering
General course objectives: Te main objective of the course is to familiarize the PhD candidates enrolled in the DTU Chemical Engineering PhD school with a broader spectrum of research activities of chemical and biochemical engineering in academia and industry. Moreover, the course participants will be trained in dissemination of their own research work by preparing a popular article / communication highlighting their own research project.
Learning objectives:
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:
- Define and describe the latest trends and ideas in chemical and biochemical engineering and industries
- Define contemporary challenges of the chemical and biochemical engineering fields
- Put in perspective one’s own research subject within the bigger picture of chemical engineering research from product to process development and more.
- Read and understand review articles related to seminar topics
- Formulate relevant & meaningful questions and discuss these with the lecturer during the seminars
- Engage with scholarly and constructive discussions in chemical engineering research fields
- Communicate a technical subject using a semi-popular/non-technical language to able to reach a broader audience.
- In particular, be able to write a popular article to semi-technical engineering journals or be able to prepare a Youtube movie clip.
