This course basically discusses momentum, heat and mass transfer and their critical roles in chemical or other processing industries. This course is aimed to deepen the students' knowledge on unit operations particularly related to liquid-liquid extraction, solid-liquid extraction, drying of solids, heat transfer, distillation and absorption processes.
The humanity is gearing towards 17 Sustainable Development Goals as agreed by over 180 countries at the United Nations in the year 2015. There is a tremendous potential for the youth to capitalize on the numerous business opportunities that have unfolded as a result. The key objective of this course is to offer students the broad picture of entrepreneurship with a special focus on start up eco-systems. This course would enable students to practically identify business opportunities and relate them to sustainable development goals. Hands on sessions supported by seminars, case studies, guest lectures and practical (group and individual) exercises would enable students to create value proposition canvas, business model canvas, minimum viable product (MVP) and cash flow projections. The culmination of all the activities would finally lead students to pitch their business ideas to potential investors as the final assessment.
Project Management is about leading a team of diverse functional specialists towards a defined goal or outcome for which the project exists to deliver. This is however, not as easy as it might sound. Projects must operate within defined parameters, they often reflect a step into the unknown, are subject to a multitude of stakeholder influences and agendas and the environment within which they operate is often rapidly changing. This course has been specifically designed to provide the delegate with both a comprehensive and a holistic perspective of project management– to build a solid foundation from which to develop the required core skills to be a successful project manager in energy related field. This course is an immersive experience with a significant emphasis on open dialogue and participant involvement in a variety of exercises and scenarios.
