Today’s world relies heavily on Chemical and Process Engineering, from energy & oil industries to pharmaceuticals & biotechnology. The Graduate Certificate in Chemical and Process Engineering covers knowledge and skills underpinning processes and phenomena related to mass transfer and associated separation processes and equipment, thermodynamics and heat transfer applications heating and cooling systems, multi-phase flow, and solid transportation. This certificate will also prepare you with the requisite knowledge to comprehend, manage, and resolve issues within detailed process dynamics and control systems. The learning outcomes of the course is designed to equip students with professional engineering skills and knowledge to identify, analyze and apply advanced knowledge in process and phenomena related to mass transfer and associate separation processes and heat transfer applications with sound engineering judgement of solutions relevant to the Professional engineering domain through the application of these concepts, and to develop the problem-solving skills essential to good engineering practice.

The Graduate Certificate in Process and Thermal Engineering is a postgraduate qualification that includes masters level units as part of the program. This Graduate Certificate will provide you with an opportunity to design, test and work with pumps, compressor, turbines, heat exchangers, industrial gas turbines and process engineering technologies in the context of mechanical engineering.

This graduate certificate will equip you with communication (oral and written) skills to investigate, analyse and present technical ideas, information and solutions on Industrial Automation problems and projects in a professional, independent and organised manner, individually and in teams, within the engineering domain.

This professional development course is designed for engineers and technicians who need to gain practical knowledge of selection, installation, and commissioning of industrial instrumentation and control valves.

The Chemical Engineering programme is concerned with the manufacturing of chemicals on an industrial scale.

The course is offered in a fully-online manner utilising IT Sligo’s online delivery technologies, which will minimise the amount of student time required to travel and attend either IT Sligo or the National Institute for Bioprocessing Research and Training (NIBRT).

This distance learning process engineering HNC course is for learners who wish to work as technicians/technician engineers in the process engineering sector, manufacturing, maintenance and testing.
