Summary on Grant Application Form
Research students in all areas of process engineering rely heavily on advanced engineering mathematics and statistical techniques. Currently, fundamental mathematical and statistical methodologies taught at undergraduate level are often advanced through independent learning by individual researchers, who develop their mathematical and statistical skills as appropriate rather than through being aware of the potential of advanced mathematical and statistical tools at the onset of their research career. To address these concerns it was proposed to mount a course on Essential Mathematics for Process Engineering Research (EMPiRe). The aim was to teach the essential mathematical and statistical tools and concepts that will enable research students to make a rapid impact in their chosen research area.
