CHE 383 - Chemical Engineering Design Workshop

An introduction to the engineering design process, including problem definition and needs analysis, critical analysis of problems, alternative solutions, process synthesis, design constraints, and safety and environmental protection in design. This course also develops and enhances team work, project management, and technical communication (written and oral). Students in teams work on open-ended problems and apply the formal methods of engineering design. At the conclusion of this course, each student team presents a pre-proposal of the design project that will become the subject of CHE482 and CHE483.
