Course Overview

Today, about 75% of the chemical manufacturing processes involve particulate matter. This includes the manufacturing of items like cement, pharmaceuticals, ceramic, pigments, and catalysts. The Unit Operations of Particulate Matter will provide end-to-end details of the important physical mechanisms that can make all the difference between failure and success.

The Unit Operations of Particulate Matter course deals with the Science and Technology of solid materials by taking a multidisciplinary approach. The training includes fields like Environmental Agricultural, Biomedical, Materials Science, Aerospace, Microbiology, Chemistry, Cell Science, and Pharmacy. The curriculum consists of ten modules that are taken up in a total of four weeks.

For the Unit Operations of Particulate Matter programme, Shabina Khanam, who is an Associate Professor in IIT Roorkee’s Department of Chemical Engineering, conducts the lectures or video tutorials. The classes are divided into 20 tutorials of half an hour each. This online certification course is free, and anyone can enrol in this course to gain knowledge about solid materials and their processes.

Evaluation process

Those who want to get the certificate for the Unit Operations of Particulate Matter online course by Swayam have to fulfill two criteria. Throughout the training, you will get four assignments that will be graded and marked. The candidates must complete four assignments and score >= 10/25. Further, their final assessment evaluation should be >=30/75. The final score is the sum of 25% of the average assignment score and 75% of the test score.

Moreover, both these criteria are crucial to get the certification. If learners do not fulfill either one of these, then the candidates will not receive the Swayam certificate.
