Industrial Process Design

3 Credits.

This course emphasizes the design and analysis of established industrial chemical processes. Student teams select a target chemical and develop a complete process flowsheet using modern engineering tools (e.g., process simulation). Designs are evaluated with respect to safety (HAZOP), economic viability, and realistic constraints. The course develops the ability to apply engineering principles to analyze and optimize conventional processes, interpret data, and make informed design decisions. The ePortfolio tag(s) on this course signify that there are one or more assignments offered in the course that provide students with the opportunity to be assessed for proficiency in completion of the relevant ePortfolio requirement(s).
