They were shown the two lecture theatres, the teaching and research laboratories, with their facilities for large and small scale Chemical Engineering experiments, and the library of around 5000 volumes. They were also shown the computing facilities. There is a PC network and students have access to the usual word processing packages and more specialised software such as CAD tools, process simulators and heat exchanger design packages.
All students have access to the Internet.
