183 UNIVERSITY OF LONDON KING'S COLLEGE COURSES OF STUDY IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING The Course covers one Session and is designed so that it may be taken in the year following the Final Sc Examination by students who have devoted their undergraduate course primarily either to Chemistry or to Engineering and who have already obtained good training in the fundamental sciences of Chemistry Physics and Mathematics Its exact nature is therefore varied in accordance with the previous training of the student The object is to train the student in the scientific principles underlying the methods of carrying out chemical processes on the technical scale by teaching him to apply the principles of Physics Physical Chemistry and Engineering to the general methods and apparatus employed in industry For this purpose the Course is designed on the basis of close co-operation between the Departments of Chemistry and Engineering and members of the Staffs of these Departments deal with those aspects of the work which are more particularly of purely chemical or engineering nature Thus Chemistry students receive under conditions similar to those met with in practice the necessary training in such subjects as Engineering Drawing Commercial Testing of Materials of Construction Production and Transmission of Mechanical and Electrical Energy and the deter- mination of the Efficiencies of Boiler Installations and of the more general types of Mechanical and Electrical Plant whilst Engineering students devote an equivalent amount of time to further instruction in suitable branches of Chemistry The part of the Course common to both classes of students deals with Chemical Engineering Operations and Processes Fundamental operations common to number of chemical industries are studied and investigated from the point of view of Plant Construction Energy Requirements and Efficiency of Operation Examples are given in the design of typical Units of Plant and instruction is provided in the preparation of Quantitative Flow- Sheets both for materials and energy in the Calculation of Costs and in the general principles underlying the Location and Layout of Works In addition to the practical work carried out in the Laboratories students are required to take course in Workshop Practice Ample facilities are provided for the investigation of industrial problems covering wide field Students are recommended to avail
