Introduction

DURATION OF THE PROGRAMME

The Bachelors Degree Programme is five years. In addition to Theory sessions, Labs and Workshop Practice, students are required to undergo Industrial Attachment in their 3rd, 4th and 5th Years of study.

B.ENG- CHEMICAL & PROCESS ENGINEERING (NEW CURRICULUM)

PROGRAMME EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES (PEOs)

The PEOs outline the expected accomplishments of graduates after three (3) to five (5) years of graduation. There are four (4) PEOs for the Bachelor of Engineering in Chemical and Process Engineering WA OBE aligned programme, formulated based on the Moi University’s Vision, Mission, Educational goal, and considering the requirements and interests of the employers and other stakeholders. They include:

PEO1: Graduates that are knowledgeable, competent and employable, capable of pursuing a successful career in Chemical and Process Engineering and allied industries

PEO2: Graduates that are proficient in applying the principles of engineering to design, develop, improve and maintain industrial processes to meet specified needs with consideration of process efficiency, public health, safety, and welfare.

PEO3: Graduates that are innovative, critical thinkers and problem solvers who strive to continuously align their activities for the betterment of the society.

PEO4: Graduates that exhibit entrepreneurial, leadership and high professional skills and attitudes while committed to ethics, professional integrity, sustainable development and lifelong learning.

PROGRAMME OUTCOMES (POs)

The program outcomes specify the accomplishments, abilities, and information that students should have by the time they graduate. These are connected to the knowledge, abilities, and behaviors that students have acquired during the curriculum. The eleven (11) POs for the Bachelor of Chemical and Process Engineering POs are directly adapted from the Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) general POs to guarantee alignment and conformance with EAC criteria. They include:

PO1- Engineering Knowledge: Apply the knowledge of chemical engineering, science, and mathematics in solving complex Engineering problems;

PO2 - Problem Analysis: Analyze Chemical Engineering process systems and troubleshooting problems;

PO3 - Design/Development of Solutions: Develop chemical processes and systems that meet public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental needs;

PO4: Investigation: Conduct systematic engineering research, to derive valid conclusions in solving societal problem;

PO5 - Modern Tool Usage: Apply modern technology such advanced software to simulate and model chemical processes;

PO6 - The Engineer and the World: Perform professional engineering tasks and duties in a professional manner while considering safety, health and sustainable development and impact on the environment for society

PO7 – Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of engineering practice;

PO8 - Individual and Team Work: Work collaboratively with peers in multidisciplinary settings or work individually under minimal supervision;

PO9 – Communication: Communicate effectively, orally as well as in writing, on complex chemical engineering activities with the engineering community and with society such as through written technical reports and presentations;

PO10 - Project Management and Finance: Demonstrate management and leadership skills in the execution of chemical engineering projects in a multidisciplinary environment;

PO11 - Life Long Learning: Be able to recognize the need for and be engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.
