Start the process/system/technology design Draw engineering objects Asquire problem solving skills Concepts of integration of unit, processes, technology, system

Assist understanding the design concepts such as: engineering drawing, modeling, simulation, sensitivity analysis, process integration, optimisation

I. Course structure (~6 weeks Summer semester) Based on modular approach (workshops) and taking as case study for individual work the processes chosen by students' goups as design projects. Include: 1. Sustainability workshop 2. Healt and safety workshop 3. Heat integration workshop 4. Software applications for Chemical Engineers workshop 5. Engineering drawing workshop Continuous assessment dusring each of the above will form students final grade.
