Introduction to the elements of systems engineering. Special attention devoted to those tools that help students structure and solve complex problems. Illustrative examples drawn from a broad variety of chemical engineering topics, including product development and design, process development and design, experimental and theoretical analysis of physico-chemical process, analysis of process operations, etc. Integrated Chemical Engineering I. Presents and solves chemical engineering problems in an industrial context .
Emphasis is placed on the integration of fundamental concepts with approaches of process design.
Problems are emphasized that demand synthesis, economic analysis, and process design. Discussions guided by the research interests of participating students. Topics include mathematical and numerical techniques, representational methodologies, and software development.
