I teach Manufacturing Technology to 4th Year Pharmaceutical Science students. This involves lots of chemical engineering, and my favourite part which is crystallography. The chemical engineering part looks at material balances, heat exchangers, and distillation columns. In crystallography, we go the way from Bravais Lattices, to Miller Indices, Space Groups, and X-ray Diffraction.

The laboratory component of this module uses a Process Simulator programme UniSim490 from Honeywell. We use this to set up virtual processes and compare their operation to theory. Examples of the labs from 2019 are given here.
