Message from the Head of Department

Welcome to the Department of Chemical and Process Engineering at University of Moratuwa; the first ever chemical engineering department established in the country in 1972. Since then the department has been growing steadily and now totally accommodates 80 students per batch. Our primary objective is to provide a high-quality education experience that will prepare graduates to assume leadership positions within the chemical and associated industries. The objectives of the chemical engineering undergraduate curriculum have been developed with feedback from the staff, alumni, current students and Department Industry Consultative Board. The department is committed to achieve these objectives by continuously evaluating the success of its courses using the highest standards of quality, innovation, and visibility, while at the same time providing a friendly and supportive atmosphere. Last year we moved to the new Chemical and Process Engineering Center with modern facilities. In 2005 we were able to win the IRQUE grant offered by the World Bank which enabled us to improve the quality of our undergraduate program throughout the last five years. Chemical Engineering is all about transformation. It is the study and practice of transforming substances at large scales for the tangible improvement of the human condition. Such transformations are executed to produce other useful substances or energy, and lie at the heart of vast segments of the chemical, petroleum, plastic, rubber, pharmaceutical, food, environmental and electronic industries. I invite you to learn how we are transforming lives and changing the world. We expect you to be bright, a good communicator, motivated, able to work on your own or as part of a team, and are interested in a challenge, to study chemical engineering at our department. The department has a strong linkage with the industry and is prepared to do collaborative research and development work for them. Presently we have two fully functional incubators for conducting product and process development work for Cargills (Ceylon) PLC and DSI Samson Group. The department has 13 full time senior lecturers with diversified fields of specialization. The student body consists of 260 students at all levels of the undergraduate program, 20 Masters students and 2 PhD students. Undergraduate students can obtain degrees with three minors; Food and biochemical engineering, Energy and environmental engineering and Polymer engineering. The department has transformed from producing job seekers to job creators. Presently we give equal prominence to developing the soft skills of our graduates while giving them an understanding of engineering fundamentals to manage complex systems with particular attention to the chemical process and product industries. From this year onwards, computing is integrated throughout the curriculum, and extensive use is made of software for mathematical modeling and simulation in the department's Computational Laboratory. Historically our students have shown excellence in sports and other extracurricular activities. Our graduates were able to lead the university badminton, netball, hockey and many other sports in the past. In recent past, the student union of the university has been leading by chemical undergraduates. They also gave leadership to interactive student organizations in the university such as Gavel club, Rotaract club and Nature team. Chemical engineering society is the hub for the student activities in the department. I welcome you again to the world of chemical engineering and expect you to get yourself ready to have a career where the opportunities are endless. Dr. ADU Shantha Amarasinghe
1. Introduction
1.1 Why study Chemical & Process Engineering?
Chemical and Process Engineering is a key engineering discipline which combines knowledge of Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics and other Natural Sciences gained by study, experience and practice with engineering principles to develop economical ways of using materials and energy for the benefit of mankind. You should consider a Chemical engineering degree if you want o a rewarding career applying science and technology o to help uplift living standards of people by supplying materials for their needs o to protect and improve the environment
1.1
CareerOpportunities
It's true that Chemical Engineers are comfortable with Chemistry, but they do much more with this knowledge than just make chemicals. More typically, they turn raw materials into valuable products. The necessary skills encompass all aspects of design, testing, scale-up, operation, control, and optimization. Chemical Engineers might expect to work in o o o o o o Environmental protection and Natural resource utilization. The chemical, petroleum and petrochemical industries Biochemical and Biomedical Engineering Processing of electronic and photonic devices Computer aided process and Control Engineering Advanced materials manufacture
In addition the broad basis of their scientific, Engineering, and management education enables Chemical Engineers to apply their skills and knowledge in many fields that, at first glance, may not seem to have much to do with Chemical Engineering. One example is merchant banking.

5.3. Teaching and Learning The knowledge is transferred to the students through a range of learning and teaching activities to fulfil our course objectives. Clearly defined assessment methods are used to measure students success in meeting course objectives. Course outline consisting Subject Coordinator, Lecturers, Pre requisites, Course Objective, Learning Outcome, Tentative Course Outline, Method of Grading, Recommended Text Books and Selected References for each module is distributed for students at the first lecture of the module. Most modules are taught through a combination of lectures, practical classes and tutorials. Subject specific theories fundamentals and concepts are delivered through lectures, aided by one or combination of; black/white board, overhead projector, multimedia, printed lecture notes. Students learn by listening, seeing, taking down notes and by discussion. Lecture notes and additional resources are uploaded in Learning Management System, which is the latest IT based learning environment in University of Moratuwa. Students can access LMS through www.lms.mrt.ac.lk. Use of mobile phones is not allowed within the lectures. Practical classes carried out in groups, 2-12 students per group, under the guidance of a lecturer and/or instructor to develop data recording, calculation, analysis and interpretation skills. Tutorials encourage student centred learning towards application of theories to solve chemical engineering problems. Model answers for the tutorials are provided for self learning. Assignments, case studies and literature surveys develop a range of skills such as information gathering, identifying lessons and time management. Group or individual presentations at the end of selected assignments are a means of developing presentation skills from the lecturers and the colleagues feedback. Industrial visits are arranged to enunciate the practical applications of theories that are taught in the University. The engineering product design experience, a vital element in engineering education. Students are encouraged to develop a prototype of the designed product, enhancing group learning and innovation. Final year design project allows students to apply their gathered knowledge during first three years in the University to conceptually design a process plant. In a group consists of 45 students work collectively to design the flow sheet, material and energy balances, etc. for Department of Chemical and Process Engineering - 2011 19
the plant encouraging development of skills in team work and leadership while the individual design promotes self-design capabilities. Six months industrial training period at the end of Level 3 Semester 1 enables students to experience in-plant work in an area of their preference within the CPE program. The students develop management skills in addition to the chemical engineering disciplines. Continuous assessment of the training progress is done under the guidance of the Director of the Department of Industrial Training. A student guide for training and training report preparation is available for the student. An E-portal containing information for students which can be accessed through Departmental intranet is in operation. This facility is expected to enhance students selflearning abilities. 5.4. Examinations and Assessment Strategy
The performances of each student are evaluated by continuous assessments and end of semester examinations. o Continuous Assessment. o Year1 semester 1 -Minimum 20 % o Year1 2nd semester ,2,3 &4 - Minimum 30% o Course work, Assignments, Term paper, Quizzes, Viva, Mid-Semester exams. o Examination. o Year 1 -Maximum 80 % o Year 2,3 &4 -Maximum 70% All candidates should obtain at least 40% of the continuous assessment marks at all levels to qualify for the end of semester examination. A minimum requirement of 20% should be obtained from the end of the semester examination in order to pass a module. This is a University requirement applicable for all modules. The results are given to students in writing. The completed assignments must be submitted to the lecturer on the dates of submission as detailed in the assignments. Late submissions will be compensated with reduction of marks. Students having prolonged illnesses may provide medical reports through the Medical Officer of the university or an equally qualified doctor. Arrangements can be made through negotiation with the lecturer in person to submit assignments. Students having disabilities are encouraged to discuss with the level coordinates and subject coordinators to make necessary arrangements. Industrial Training is coordinated and assessed jointly by the DCPE, Industrial training division of UOM and NAITA. The students are partly assessed while undergoing training Department of Chemical and Process Engineering - 2011 20
and any improvement needed to obtain a better training is encouraged at this instance. The student is assessed based on the report submitted at the end, the diary maintained during the training period and a viva voce assessment. The final year Comprehensive Design Project is assessed by the report submitted by the group on the collective design and the individual design by each student. The marks are displayed on the notice board and the students are given a chance to apply for re-correction. The re-correction application is also allowed for continuous assessment results displayed on the notice board before the end of semester examination. Depending on the credits earned by the student for each module, an overall Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated. Each student is awarded a class at the completion of all the graduation requirements within five academic years. A documentation manual consists of curriculum and syllabi, assessment methods and other relevant information on UG program is available in the Department. 5.5. Mentoring Program
A mentoring program is scheduled to conduct in near future called young process engineer mentoring program. The students from immediate passed out batches will be mentors here. 5.6. Student Information
Student records are maintained by the Examinations division who issue a record of the units taken, credits obtained with the GPA to students for accuracy checks and any corrections are incorporated after validation. 5.7. Awards
