Chemical Product Design

At the end of this course, the students should be able to: 1. identify a chemical process or product that is of relevance and of value that will involve application of student knowledge of chemical engineering principles; 2. develop a strategy for the design and production of this process/product including milestones; 3. develop the project budget and market analysis of the process/product; 2. write a proposal for the development/production of the process or product; 3. apply principles of starting up a chemical engineering business successfully; 4. Package the product for market where possible; and 5. Present process orally and in writing.

Chemical Engineering open-ended problems/projects that require students to design a chemical process or product. Each team generates and filters ideas; identifies use cases and objectives; evaluates and selects a design strategy; develops a project budget; schedules milestones and tasks; and writes a proposal with supporting documentation. Each project must meet specified requirements for societal impact, budget, duration, person hours, environmental impact, safety, and ethics. Principles of chemical engineering business start- ups.
