Integrated Chemical Engineering and Process Design

In the chemical and process industries, translating theoretical chemistry into a safe, sustainable, and economically viable plant design is a critical skill. This text-based course guides you through the fundamental principles of chemical process design, engineering economics, and professional technical communication. You will learn how to analyze complex chemical systems, structure professional engineering memos, and evaluate process safety and environmental impact using modern industry frameworks. What you will learn: Understand foundational chemical engineering design concepts and process flowsheets; Analyze process economics including capital estimation, operating costs, and profitability metrics; Practice writing clear, structured engineering memos and project proposals; Evaluate process safety, environmental impacts, and modern green chemistry principles; Apply systematic troubleshooting to process design challenges. The course begins with core definitions and flowsheet analysis, moves into thermodynamic and kinetic considerations, and concludes with economic evaluation and professional reporting standards. This course is designed for engineering students, newly graduated engineers, or professionals transitioning into process design roles, with no advanced prerequisites required.
