AB  -        Introducing Professional Skills during Unit Operations LaboratoryUnit operations laboratory (UOL) is considered to be a crucial and integral part of the chemicalengineering education. The major component of the course is to enable students combine theoryand practice. Problems in industry however always entail more than finding technical solutions.Indeed professional life requires other skills such as ability to propose ideas, develop practicalsolutions, participate in teamwork, meeting deadlines, establish communication betweentechnical support and suppliers, oversee financial issues, and finally skills for reporting andpresentation. Due to the regulations of accreditation institutions and limited ability to offer newcourses, very few chemical engineering programs are able to ensure that the needs ofprofessional life are sufficiently met. This paper describes how in three consecutive courses, wepreserve the core requirements of the UOL course while incorporating components such asexperimental design, project development and teamwork, which are the emerging needs of aprofessional career. We follow up the course outcomes with a survey targeting the graduates ofthe program. Our results show graduates employed in industry often rely on skills such asevaluating teammates and public speaking and graduates continuing with MSc or PhDprograms report evaluating supervisors as an important skill attained through the UOL courses,highlighting the need for adaptive approach for different graduate trajectories in designing thecourse. For both groups of graduates, the skills introduced during the UOL courses are reportedto be valuable for time management in daily life.
