Gobbens Laura (coordinator) | Gobbens Laura | Van Maele Jan | N. | Schelkens Steven (cooperator) Aims
Learning outcomes and development goals:
K3L Have a basic scientific-disciplinary knowledge and understanding of one or more of the professional competencies, in order to function as a graduate in EngineeringTechnology in a broad societal context
I1L Problem analysis and solving
I2L Designing and/or developing
I2V Assuming a creative and innovative attitude
I3L Application-oriented research
P1L Operationalising
G1L Acquiring and processing information
G2L Communicating with peers and non-peers
G4L Teamwork in a number of different roles
G5L Professional conduct
Objectives:
The goal of Engineering Experience 2 - Chemistry is to enable the student to take their technological knowledge to the next level by using technological creativity (I2V).
To this end, the student should be able to:
- collect, critically read, understand and apply scientific literature so that he can independently put together a procedure for the compounds to be produced (G1L, I2L);
- understand the chemical/biochemical reaction used (G1L);
- perform the synthesis independently in the lab (P1L);
- perform analyses to check the quality of the compounds made (P1L).
- examine the purity, quality and safety of the products according to the requirements of the application/customer/stakeholders (I1L, I3L);
- examine the impact of the process on the environment and reduce this impact if necessary (I1L, I3L);
- work safely with chemical/biochemical compounds (I1L);
- calculate and assess the efficiency and reproducibility of the reaction and the methods used (I1L, I3L);
The OPO Engineering Experience 2 - Chemistry will not only focus on individual knowledge, commitment and skills. The OPO will also put maximum effort into integrating professional competencies into the project assignment. The emphasis will be placed on working in teams and connecting with the industrial field and thus with those industrial processes and methods specific to the discipline.
In order to realize this, the student must be able to:
- deal with group dynamics; they recognize problem situations and are able to use strategies to solve these problems (G4L);
- assume different roles in the team and provide leadership (G4L);
- manage the project and create a schedule using project management software (G4L);
- communicate connectively with people with different views and backgrounds: communicate with client/target field/stakeholders (G2L);
- report to a wider audience via a well-structured scientific poster or website, using clear illustrations and/or audiovisual support. In doing so, the student applies correct language and correctly represents scientific sources (G2L).
Order of Enrolment
You can only take this course if you have to acquire no more than 140 credits to obtain your degree.
Mixed prerequisite:
You may only take this course if you comply with the prerequisites. Prerequisites can be strict or flexible, or can imply simultaneity. A degree level can be also be a prerequisite.
Explanation:

Activities
1 ects. Seminars Professional Competences 2 (B-KUL-T2sIC2)
EnglishFormat: Lecture
18 
Both termsGobbens Laura | Van Maele Jan | N. | Schelkens Steven (cooperator) Content
The following professional competencies will be addressed during the seminars: Team dynamics: Taking leadership, recognizing and adjusting problematic group processes; Project management: Macro insights into project management and the different frameworks for different contexts; Professional communication: Communicating with wider society and science (popularizing) communication.
Course material
The study material is made available on Toledo.
Evaluation
Evaluation: Engineering Experience 2 - Chemical Engineering (B-KUL-T72187)
Explanation
1. Calculation of the final mark
This course contains only one published component mark. Consequently, this component mark is the final mark.
2. Calculation of the published component marks
The component mark is based on three evaluation components:
- - the technological, content-based performance: 83,3%
- Individual performance: 70%
- Group performance: 30%
- - the process, application of the professional competencies during the elaboration of the assignment: 16.7%
- - peer assessment: +/- 2 points on the total mark for group score
If, according to the coach, the student didn’t participate enough to the group he/she can decide to adapt the percentages above.
3. Absences
Unauthorized absence during one session leads to a 0 for this session.
- Unauthorized absence during two or more sessions leads to NA as a final mark.
- Unauthorized absence during the final presentation session of the project leads to NA as a final mark.
For absences during the teaching weeks, please contact your coach AND afwezigheden.groept@kuleuven.be preferably within 24 hours of your absence and within three working days at the latest.
4. Partial transfers and re-examinations
There is no second examination opportunity for Engineering experience 2 – CH.
This is a non-tolerable course.
When needed, additional information on the evaluation activities is provided during the lessons and/or made available on the Toledo pages of the course.
If the university decides that it is faced with situations of general force majeure or situations in which the safety and health of members of the academic community of KU Leuven may be endangered and changes are made to the teaching and evaluation activities as a result, these changes will be communicated via Toledo.
Information about retaking exams
No 2nd examination opportunity.
There is no second examination opportunity for Engineering experience 2 – CH.
