This course serves as a vital link between theoretical knowledge and practical application, immersing students in the development and preparation of industrial products commonly manufactured in chemical process industries. With a strong focus on product development and innovation, the course emphasizes these as core competencies for the modern chemical engineer. Students are challenged to address real-world industrial problems by designing new products, optimizing existing processes, or developing novel engineering systems. This problem-driven approach cultivates both creativity and technical acumen, encouraging students to balance innovative thinking with practical feasibility in industrial settings. Through hands-on experiential learning, the course fosters active engagement in both individual and team-based projects. Students gain direct experience in simulating real-world chemical engineering environments, where collaboration, communication, and interdisciplinary teamwork are essential for success. By the end of the course, students will have developed the ability to think critically, innovate effectively, and apply their knowledge to tangible challenges in the chemical process industries. This course prepares them to contribute meaningfully to technological advancements, sustainable development, and process innovation, while also nurturing a mindset grounded in collaboration, problem-solving, and continuous improvement
Perform laboratory procedures in the preparation of industrial products.
Design and conduct experiments involving common chemical processes with important consideration on safety, economics and product quality.
Systematically collect and interpret data obtained in the experiments.
Draw conclusions based on the objectives of the experiment.
Come up with a product prototype and a final report that describes the product, the process by which it was developed and its commercial viability.
