Abstract
COMMENCING in October 1948, King‘s College, Newcastle upon Tyne, will offer a two-year postgraduate course in chemical engineering leading to the degree of master of science in chemical engineering of the University of Durham. The course will be available to graduates in mechanical engineering or to those who possess some equivalent degree or qualification. The opportunity has been taken to link With chemical engineering the teaching of fuel technology, which has hitherto been carried out by individual departments as required. The main subjects of study during the course will include, in the field of chemical engineering, materials of construction and the design of chemical plant, the flow of fluids and the transfer of heat and matter and the various unit operations. The fuel technology course will include the fuel industries, steam, power and industrial gases. A series of lectures will also be given on the economic, legal, health and safety aspects of chemical engineering. Practical work will be carried out in a new fuel technology laboratory and in a new chemical engineering laboratory which will house a number of small-scale plants.
