This unit introduces practitioners to the practical tools, techniques and methodologies of applied project management using a 'step by step' methodology, with the understanding that the process of project management is NOT a linear process, but in fact is a complex, dynamic, adaptive system. The unit includes scope management, time management, cost management, quality management, risk management, contract management, human resource management, communications management, and integrative process management.

This unit is broadly divided into two themes—evaluation and treasury. The first theme covers comparisons of two or more options in which costs and outcomes or consequences of these options are examined. The second theme encompasses the management of monetary assets and liabilities, financial risks, and responsibility for banking relationships.

This unit discusses the thermodynamic properties of pure species and their mixtures, as well as the concepts of mass, energy and entropy balances. The thermodynamic properties of ideal and real substances are analysed, followed by an exposition of the interrelationship among various aspects of equilibrium phenomena. The knowledge is also applied to various thermodynamic processes germane to chemical and process engineering.

This unit reviews the fundamental chemistry principles such as thermodynamics and kinetics with specific relevance to extractive metallurgy. This is followed by the topics critically important to extractive metallurgy such as thermochemistry, chemical equilibrium, reaction kinetics and mechanism, minerals processing, hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy, electrometallurgy and reactor design. Tutorials, mass and energy balance calculations, and laboratory exercises in simulation of important process units are designed to supplement the lectures.
