The role of computer aided engineering in industry is discussed. Each individual project is supervised by a member of SChEME academic staff. A list of topics is offered from which students make their own choice in consultation with the Course Director. Topics can also be tailored to student's own interest or expertise and can also involve industrial input. The project will look at a particular process engineering application, requiring literature research and background reading as well as detailed knowledge and use of one or more of the CAPE techniques covered in Semester 1.
