Abstract

Our two-part paper investigates the current status and future trends and suggests a framework for teaching of Process Systems Engineering (PSE) topics that addresses what should be taught and how these topics should be taught effectively in a classroom setting. This first part concerns the “what” – i.e., which specific key PSE topics should constitute the core requirement of chemical engineering education – either a BSc, but in many cases, an MSc, and which application areas should be included. We surveyed existing courses on novel aspects of PSE applications, as well as polling PSE stakeholders to ascertain their opinion of what is taught and the degree to which graduates skills match their expectations. Existing gaps and interesting prospects have been revealed by the surveys leading to suggestions for the future.
