Integrated process design instruction

چکیده
As chemical engineering education moves into the new millennium, it is incumbent on educators to provide a modern curriculum for process design, yet mindful of the limited time for instruction that is available. This paper addresses three key components of a chemical engineering curriculum that prepare undergraduates to be effective process designers in industry: (a) a structured approach relying on fundamentals, integrated with instruction in the competent use of process simulators; (b) a balance between heuristic and algorithmic approaches; and (c) instruction in the integration of design and control. It is argued that these components should be included in an integrated fashion, with much of the material appearing gradually during the delivery of core courses, taking full advantage of computing capability and multimedia support for self-paced instruction. In this paper, each of the features is discussed in detail and demonstrated for the design of a typical process. © 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

The Effect of Web-Integrated Instruction and Feedback on Self-Regulated Learning Ability of Iranian EFL Learners
Abstract The present study intended, firstly, to investigate the effect of web-integrated instruction on self-regulated learning ability in EFL writing, and secondly, to compare and contrast the effects of paper-based feedback and web-assisted feedback on the self-regulated learning ability. To this end, a quasi-experimental design was applied for both cases. In line with the first objective, ...

Research on teacher cognition concerning listening instruction has not been sufficiently touched upon. The present case study aimed to investigate Iranian EFL teachers' stated practices, their perceptions of how effective those practices are, and their actual classroom practices of two casual process-oriented listening instructional approaches namely, strategy-based instruction (SBI) and metaco...
متن کاملSynthesis of application specific instruction sets
An instruction set serves as the interface between hardware and software in a computer system. In an application specific environment, the system performance can be improved by designing an instruction set that matches the characteristics of hardware and the application. We present a systematic approach to generate application-specific instruction sets so that software applications can be effic...
متن کاملAc 2007-2058: Effect of Library Instruction on Undergraduate Electrical Engineering Design Projects
This study examines the effect of library instruction on two sections of the same senior-level electrical engineering course in analog integrated circuit design. One section received a onehour library instruction session while the other section did not. The premise of the study is that inclusion of library instruction will result in higher utilization of scholarly resources in the students’ fin...
متن کاملUse of a Simulation Switch Matrix for Efficient design of CMOS Analog Integrated Circuits
CMOS analog integrated circuit (IC) design is a technology-dependent process. Analog design follows a process for which the transistor sizing necessary to achieve performance goals is defined by a series of simulation tests. The classroom instruction usually walks through a sequence of exercises on the ways in which characteristics of standard subcircuits are defined by the technology and then ...
