<p>The Master of Science in Process Engineering is a postgraduate programme that trains graduates in process engineering, chemical process design, process optimisation, and industrial process management. The programme prepares graduates for advanced careers in process industries, chemical manufacturing, oil and gas, food processing, and engineering consultancy. Core areas include process engineering, process design, process control, process optimisation, heat transfer, mass transfer, fluid mechanics, reaction engineering, process safety, process modelling, and research methods. Students engage with theoretical foundations and practical process engineering applications. The programme is offered by Turkana University College, Kabarak University, and Technical University of Kenya, with Taita Taveta University as a college. TUK offers Chemical and Process Engineering through its School of Chemical and Biological Systems Engineering. Taita Taveta University offers MSc Process Engineering with entry requiring Bachelor's degree in engineering with Upper Second or Lower with 2 years industrial experience. Moi University offers related MSc Chemical Engineering. Students develop competencies in process design, process simulation, equipment design, process control, safety analysis, optimisation, and research. The programme includes coursework, laboratory practicals, design projects, examinations, supervised research, and thesis. The programme is delivered over two years. Taita Taveta University offers MSc Process Engineering with full-time and part-time modes. TUK offers postgraduate degrees in Chemical Engineering. Entry requires Bachelor's degree in chemical engineering, process engineering, or related engineering fields with Upper Second or Lower with 2 years industrial experience. Graduates pursue careers as process engineers, design engineers, production managers, safety engineers, and lecturers in process industries, oil and gas, manufacturing, consultancy, and universities.</p><h3>Skills Required</h3><ul><li>Process Design and Flowsheet Development</li><li>Process Simulation and Modelling</li><li>Heat and Mass Transfer Operations</li><li>Chemical Reaction Engineering</li><li>Process Control and Instrumentation</li><li>Process Safety and Risk Assessment</li><li>Process Optimisation and Energy Integration</li><li>Equipment Design and Sizing</li><li>Process Economics and Project Evaluation</li><li>Process Engineering Research Methods</li></ul><h3>Key Subjects</h3><ul><li>Process Engineering</li><li>Process Design</li><li>Heat and Mass Transfer</li><li>Chemical Reaction Engineering</li><li>Process Control and Instrumentation</li><li>Process Safety</li><li>Process Optimisation</li><li>Process Modelling and Simulation</li><li>Equipment Design</li><li>Process Engineering Research Methods</li></ul><h3>Certifications</h3><ul><li>EBK Professional Engineer Registration</li><li>IChemE Chartered Chemical Engineer</li></ul><h3>Specializations</h3><h4>Process Design</h4><p>Focuses on process design, flowsheet development, equipment sizing, PFD and P and ID development, design specifications, and designing chemical and industrial processes.</p><h4>Process Control</h4><p>Examines process control, instrumentation, control systems, PID controllers, process dynamics, feedback control, and controlling and monitoring industrial processes.</p><h4>Reaction Engineering</h4><p>Covers chemical reaction engineering, reactor design, reaction kinetics, catalysis, reactor types, and designing and optimising chemical reactors.</p><h4>Process Safety</h4><p>Focuses on process safety, hazard analysis, HAZOP, risk assessment, safety systems, process safety management, and ensuring safety in process industries.</p><h4>Process Optimisation</h4><p>Examines process optimisation, energy integration, pinch analysis, heat exchanger networks, process intensification, and optimising process efficiency and energy use.</p><h4>Process Modelling and Simulation</h4><p>Covers process modelling, process simulation, computational methods, numerical methods, CFD, and using computational tools for process engineering.</p>
