PE 3010 Work Placement
Work placement is an essential part of the BE (Hons) Process & Chemical Engineering degree programme. Students work in industry for 26 weeks from April to September between 3rd and 4th year. They undertake an engineering project on which they prepare a written report and oral presentation. Work placement provides valuable practical experience for the students, while giving the employers an opportunity to complete a worthwhile project and also to evaluate the quality of the student.
Students are available for a 6 month placement in the period April-September. Each student is allocated to an academic supervisor in the Department of Process & Chemical Engineering who visits the student in the workplace.
The performance of the student is assessed by the industry supervisor, for inclusion in final year exam marks.
Each student receives a wage sufficient to meet living costs.
