Summary	The industrial project in Chemical Engineering can be undertaken by MEng students in their final year. It consists of a piece of original technical work in chemical engineering or a related discipline within an industrial context. The scope of industrial projects depends on the individual project - some are based on production facilities and involve investigation of plant operation, modelling and analysis of performance, others are laboratory based involving experimentation, others are purely theoretical, some are a blend of all these elements. Each industrial project has three elements: 1. A comprehensive literature review 2. A substantial project involving the student in independent analysis of a problem, and giving them a degree of responsibility for defining the scope and conduct of the project and as well as actually doing the work in an industry setting of approximately six months duration. 3. Presentation of the work in form of a poster presentation and a report.
Course description	Students work for a minimum of 23 weeks with an industrial sponsor starting normally in June or July and returning to the University of Edinburgh for the second semester

Learning Outcomes
Students will acquire experience in the methods and practice of industrial research and / or development and gain detailed knowledge and understanding in the area of their project. After completing the Industrial Project, the student should be able to * Devise a plan for a technical work which addresses a specified objective * execute a technical work, after having the necessary training and making use as appropriate of the advice of experts * report the results of the technical work.
