New Teaching Activity in Chemical Engineering

Teaching "operability" in undergraduate chemical engineering design education

This paper presents a proposal for increased emphasis on operability in the Chemical Engineering capstone design courses. Operability becomes a natural aspect of the process design course for a project that is properly defined with various scenarios and uncertainty. Key topics in operability are the operating window, flexibility, reliability, safety, efficiency, operation during transitions, dy...

Teaching Software Engineering – Experiences and New Approaches

Resume International statistics show that more than a half of the software projects fail before any user could try the product. The general opinion is that the fiasco can be traced back to the lack of proper design work. It is a sign that made us to meditate on our teaching and curriculum developing practice. This paper intends to present our experience and a new strategy aiming a better traini...

Introduction A New Approach in Engineering Economics

Engineering economy set of mathematical techniques for economic evaluation of investment projects that present value and internal rate of return method are among the most important of these methods. Managers and investors have many reasons to using internal rate of return greater willingness shown. This is while the serious problems associated with using internal rate of return method. In recen...
