Teaching of Process Design Courses � The CMU experience, trends and challenges

Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) has a strong tradition and expertise in Chemical Process Systems Engineering. This short article comments on the CMU PSE-related courses and describes in more detail our approach to teaching Chemical Process Design. We discuss (i) our emphasis on proposing processes related to energy and sustainability and (ii) some of the challenges that are currently faced when teaching this course.

Abstract

Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) has a strong tradition and expertise in Chemical Process Systems Engineering. This short article comments on the CMU PSE-related courses and describes in more detail our approach to teaching Chemical Process Design. We discuss (i) our emphasis on proposing processes related to energy and sustainability and (ii) some of the challenges that are currently faced when teaching this course.
