Course Overview

Mass Transfer Operations – I programme comes under the category of chemical engineering. The training also falls broadly under the domain of energy and environment. As such, the course covers a wide range of Mass Transfer Operations topics from a chemistry standpoint via online sessions.

The Mass Transfer Operations – I certification by Swayam boasts of a robust curriculum designed especially for UG students studying chemical engineering or allied disciplines. In 12 weeks, this course covers all the primary concepts of Mass Transfer Operations, from basic to intermediate level.

And once you become theoretically sound, the Mass Transfer Operations – I course tackles interphase and diffusion concepts to analyse the various Mass Transfer Operations, including distillation and absorption. This practice enables you to solve complex problems of Mass Transfer Operations quickly.

Moreover, you will have a list of books and references to augment your course learnings. You can also register for the certification exam and obtain the Mass Transfer Operations certificate post-course completion.

Eligibility Criteria

Mass Transfer Operations – I online course does not require any prior qualifications for joining.

Besides, you must appear for the proctored certification exam to obtain the e-certificate after completing the Mass Transfer Operations – I course by Swayam. And complete all the 12 assignments included in the course.

Swayam uses the following certification criteria: exam score >= 30/75 (75% of your certification exam score) + average assignment score >= 10/25. Of the 12 assignments, 8 of your best-scored assignments will be chosen to determine the average score.

But in case you fail to meet any of the two qualification criteria, you will not receive the Mass Transfer Operations – I certificate.
