Course Overview

The Chemical Reaction Engineering II by Swayam is an industry-based engineering course. In this course, an understanding of the multiphase reactors will be given. Different concepts in chemical engineering will be taught. The reasons behind the productivity of products, their importance, and identification will be discussed. This is a second-level course which is a follow-up of the first level chemical reaction engineering course.

This course is available online only the final exam will be held in the specifically designated centers. The course content doesn’t require any payment. The course is structured as 60 lectures in 30 hours. The course is specifically for individuals with an engineering background. It is verified by NPTEL and the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. This course will be instructed by the one-course instructor and two assistants.

The Chemical Reaction Engineering II certification will be provided in the e-certification mode. The certification has accreditations of NPTEL and the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. The certification is easily shareable on platforms such as Linkedin. This certification will have professionals in their careers and students on their academic journey.

Eligibility Criteria

Education

The candidates opting for the Chemical Reaction Engineering II certification course must have studied linear algebra, heat, and course transfer and must have taken the first course in reaction engineering.

Certification qualifying details

The participants will have to attend all the lectures and submit all the assignments present in the course. The final score must be 40 out of 100. The final score will be the total average assignment score and average exam score. The average assignment score must be 10 out of 25 and the average assignment score must be 30 out of 75. These two scores are the criteria. If one of the criteria is not fulfilled the participants won’t get the certification even if the score is 40 out of 100.
