Process Systems Engineering, Specialization Course

The specialization consists of modules giving a total sum 7.5 stp. Modules are often "Advanced process control" and "Model predictive control" . Other modules may also be chosen provided the student obtains permission from the co-ordinator.

At the end of the course the students should: - Knowledge of mathematical modeling and quantitative methods (process systems engineerin) for design, simulation, control and optimization. - Be able to take a given real problem, and formulate it quantitatively (using a mathematical model) such that it can be solved using systems engineering techniques. - Know how to use Matlab or similar programs to solve process systems engineering problems. - Overview of process systems engineering field with understanding of which possibilities and limitations the field offers in terms of modelling, optimization, simulation and control.

Lectures, exercises, individual laboratory or project-based work under supervision.
