CHANGING LEARNING METHODS OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING – CDIO AND CHEMICAL PRODUCT ENGINEERING

M. Vigild, S. Kiil (2008).   CHANGING LEARNING METHODS OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING – CDIO AND CHEMICAL PRODUCT ENGINEERING . 4.

Chemical Product Engineering is evolving at universities in response to the changing conditions in industry. Simultaneously, it facilitates adaptation of new methods of learning which are well aligned with the CDIO. We are introducing the subject of Chemical Product Engineering and Design as a discipline for Chemical Engineering students in order to prepare them for an innovation driven career, where development and invention of novel products is of high importance. The curriculum for the subject combines wild brainstorming for idea generation with dry quantitative engineering estimations for the final design of the products in question. This interactive presentation will present a simple game designed for dedicated engineering brainstorming and challenge the audience to undertake the task of generating a maximum number of ideas for the designing of some engineered products.
