Description of the PSE laboratories

The study of chemical engineering and computer-based techniques for design, operation and management within the process industries has come to be called process systems engineering (PSE). PSE is concerned with the scientific aspects of the design and operation of a chemical process as an integrated dynamic production system. This integration addresses multiple scales, ranging from product quality control at the micro scale to the optimisation of production at the plant level.

Chemical engineers play a critical role in the development of a wide range of technologies. As such, the PSE interdisciplinary degree offers students the opportunity to obtain a breadth of knowledge and unparalleled academic exposure: Chemical Engineering, Plant design and Process Automation.

The objective of process systems engineering is to provide companies with skilled people capable of developing and maintaining global production systems consisting of production resources and technologies. In doing so, the engineers have to develop skills in managing, planning, and steering production operations, as well as production technologies, processes and their products.
