Many of our societal infrastructures have been digital for quite some time, e.g. telecoms, banking, and e-commerce, and social media. The trend to increasing digitization continues apace, with areas such as health, power distribution, transport and manufacturing increasingly embracing the opportunities digitisation offers. In particular, the drive to increased automation and ‘smart’ operation inevitably means increased use computation.
The Internet of Things, perhaps the highest profile development in computing of recent times, marks a step change in connectivity, with some estimating 50 billion devices coming on-line by 2020. There is little doubt that we are hugely dependent on interconnected devices and systems and there are many opportunities to inflict malicious damage on them. Unsurprisingly, cybersecurity problems are reported in the media everyday. Cybersecurity is one of the most pressing problems of our day and securing computational systems and infrastructures is critical for healthy operation of modern societies.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has achieved an exceptional profile in recent years. If cybersecurity is one of the most pressing problems of our day then AI is perhaps the highest profile solution technology. Much ’smart’ infrastructure is underpinned by AI and the provision of insight via data analytics is becoming pervasive. Harnessing AI to provide more secure component and system designs and to provide insights into system operation, e.g. to detect intruders, is a natural goal.
AI underpins so much of the operation of modern day smart infrastructural and the AI algorithms and systems at the heart of such operation may themselves be maliciously attacked with great effect, e.g. the insertion of trapdoors into the neural networks that provide image recognition for automated car operation could cause catastrophic loss of life. Additionally, smart ‘attacks’ supported by AI means are now beginning to emerge; this introduces a new and worrying level of sophistication.
There is little doubt that AI will play a variety of offensive and defensive roles in the area of cybersecurity. Our MSc programme provides a grounding in cybersecurity fundamentals. It also provides a grounding in aspects of AI of significant relevance to cybersecurity, covering fundamental and widely applicable machine learning technologies, the computational support to use them, and specific data analytics technologies (text and speech processing).
Process systems engineering deals with the design, operation, optimisation and control of all kinds of chemical, physical, and biological processes through the use of systematic computer-aided approaches. Its major challenges are the development of concepts, methodologies and models for the prediction of performance and for decision-making for an engineered system.
Suitable for engineering and applied science graduates who wish to embark on successful careers as process systems engineering professionals.
The course equips graduates and practising engineers with an in-depth knowledge of the fundamentals of process systems and an excellent competency in the use of state-of-the-art approaches to deal with the major operational and design issues of the modern process industry. The course provides up-to-date technical knowledge and skills required for achieving the best management, design, control and operation of efficient process systems.
Process systems engineering constitutes an interdisciplinary research area within the chemical engineering discipline. It focuses on the use of experimental techniques and systematic computer-aided methodologies for the design, operation, optimisation and control of chemical, physical, and biological processes, e.g. from chemical and petrochemical processes to pharmaceutical and food processes.
A distinguished feature of this course is that it is not directed exclusively at chemical engineering graduates. Throughout the years, the course has evolved from discussions with industrial advisory panels, employers, sponsors and previous students. The content of the study programme is updated regularly to reflect changes arising from technical advances, economic factors and changes in legislation, regulations and standards.
By completing this course, a diligent student will be able to:
This MSc degree is accredited by Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE).
The taught programme for the MSc in Process Systems Engineering is delivered from October to February and is comprised of six compulsory taught modules. There are four optional modules to select the remaining two modules from.
Group project
The Group Project, which runs between February and April, enables you to put the skills and knowledge developed during the course modules into practice in an applied context while gaining transferable skills in project management, teamwork and independent research. The group project is usually sponsored by industrial partners who provide particular problems linked to their plant operations. Projects generally require the group to provide a solution to the operational problem. Potential future employers value this experience. This group project is shared across the MSc in Process Systems Engineering and other courses, giving the added benefit of gaining new insights, ways of thinking, experience and skills from students with other backgrounds
During the project you will develop a range of skills including learning how to establish team member roles and responsibilities, project management, and delivering technical presentations. At the end of the project, all groups submit a written report and deliver a presentation to the industrial partner. This presentation provides the opportunity to develop interpersonal and presentation skills within a professional environment.
It is clear that the modern engineer cannot be divorced from the commercial world. In order to provide practice in this matter, a poster presentation will be required from all students. This presentation provides the opportunity to develop presentation skills and effectively handle questions about complex issues in a professional manner.
Part-time students are encouraged to participate in a group project as it provides a wealth of learning opportunities. However, an option of an individual dissertation is available if agreed with the Course Director.
Individual project
The individual research project allows you to delve deeper into a specific area of interest. As our academic research is so closely related to industry, it is very common for our industrial partners to put forward real-world problems or areas of development as potential research topics.
The individual research project component takes place between April/May and August for full-time students. For part-time students, it is common that their research projects are undertaken in collaboration with their place of work under academic supervision; given the approval of the Course Director.
Individual research projects undertaken may involve designs, computer simulations, feasibility assessments, reviews, practical evaluations and experimental investigations.
Typical research areas include:
