Basic Principles and Calculations in Chemical Engineering,  goes far beyond traditional introductory chemical engineering topics, presenting applications that reflect the full scope of contemporary chemical, petroleum, and environmental engineering. Celebrating its fiftieth Anniversary as the field’s leading practical introduction, it has been extensively updated and reorganized to cover today’s principles and calculations more efficiently, and to present far more coverage of bioengineering, nano-engineering, and green engineering.

Offering a strong foundation of skills and knowledge for successful study and practice, it guides participants through formulating and solving material and energy balance problems, as well as describing gases, liquids, and vapors. Throughout, introduce efficient, consistent, student-friendly methods for solving problems, analyzing data, and gaining a conceptual, application-based understanding of modern chemical engineering processes.

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

• Appreciate the history of chemical engineering and bioengineering
• Understand the types of industries that hire chemical and bioengineers
• Appreciate the diversity of the types of jobs in which chemical and bioengineers engage
• Understand some of the ways in which chemical and bioengineers can contribute in the future to the resolution of certain of society’s problems

This course is intended for chemical engineers, process engineers, bio-engineers as well as reasearch & development staff.
