Overview

Process simulation is commonly used through out the modern chemical engineering industry. Graduates need to be ready to use this technology correctly and effectively when they join the work force. In many cases, there is a disconnect between the simulation environment and all the fundamental engineering concepts, the process simulator is treated as an "Oracle", and is often misused.

The aim of this workshop is to demonstrate to lecturers/academicians how to incorporate concepts from fundamental undergraduate chemical engineering subjects (thermodynamics, transport, distillation, reactions) into the process modelling/simulation environment and consequently set up models, run them and interpret the results correctly. This will allow lecturers to better teach process simulation, which is generally a component of the senior level design course.

The event venue is sponsored by UCSI University.
