Technical and human factors in chemical process design courses
The Chemical Engineering profession and the chemical process industry are increasingly globally oriented. International accreditations of a Chemical Engineering Course are essential for quality and global employability of the graduates. An important academic competence in any accreditation scheme is the capability to make a design. Design differs from science by its open ended, often ill-defined nature and the complexity of the design decision options. Educational approaches to design will therefore acknowledge the balance between technical and the human factors in design. At Delft University of Technology student teams making a chemical process design are supported in their design process: by means of a conceptual design template to structure the technical design decisions, by applying a team analysis tool, a project planning tool and by using creativity stimulating techniques.
