Author

Jack Hipple - Presenter, TRIZ and Engineering Training Services


The teaching of chemical engineering principles to non-chemical engineers requires focus on several key areas:
  1. Concepts of mole and mass balances
  2. Concepts of reaction kinetics and engineering
  3. Safety and reactive chemicals
  4. Mass transfer fundamentals

This presentation will review examples and experiences in teaching the Introduction to Chemical Engineering for Non-Engineers for AIChE for the past ten years
