IQUI - Chemical Engineering
This course, Introduction to Chemical Engineering, seeks to teach first semester students how to identify, explain and put into practice basic concepts of Chemical Engineering and concepts common to all Engineering programs. Students must distinguish between Chemical Engineering and other Engineering branches. Students must develop basic skills in communication, teamwork and assessment. The course seeks to have students identify, interpret, fulfill and recognize their rights and responsibilities as students of the Universidad de los Andes. Students must identify services offered by the university and use them properly.

The course initiates with an overview of standard enterprise information systems for administrative support (General Ledger, Payroll, Inventory, Invoicing, etc.), as well as some typical business processes (order-to-cash, procurement-to-pay, etc.). Then, some important concepts are studied to acquire a good understanding of Enterprise’s Vision, Mission, Strategy, Value chain, Competitive forces, etc., which serve as framework to conceive and justify useful projects of Enterprise information systems. A practical project is developed with an ERP system. Finally, principles of change management are introduced, to deal with the deployment of Enterprise Information Systems.

This course on Fundamentals of Industrial Processes, prepares students to formulate and resolve mass and energy balances in systems of chemical processes. This course is a complement to the course "Introduction to Chemical and Thermodynamics En- gineering". This course provides the fundamentals for other courses: Reaction Engineering, Unit Operations, Control and Process Design and Optimization. This course introduces an ap- proach to the kind of Engineering used to solve problems, by establishing relations between balance equations, unknown process variables and available relations. The student must direct all the information in order to find unknown variables and solve the process by properly using calculation procedures and/or available computational methods.

The course seeks to apply thermodynamic concepts and fundamentals of mathematics. This concepts and fundamentals are basic for describing a system that reaches phase equilibrium or chemical equilibrium. This knowledge is the base for future courses being able to integrate kinetic aspects and mass transfer in order to design separation units and chemical reactors.

The main course objective is to provide conceptual and mathematical tools that will allow students to become familiar with the reactive systems analysis and design. Students must be capable of applying chemistry, kinetics, thermodynamic and matter and energy balance in the design of reactors, identifying the different reactive systems, selecting a reactor for a specific application, evaluating velocity expressions and mathematically modeling the behavior of a reactive system.

Separation processes in mixtures are essential in chemical, petroleum, food, biochemistry and pharmaceutical industries. In this course students will use fundamen- tals of phase equilibrium, transport phenomena and Thermodynamics in order to distinguish separation processes using graphic and analytic methods. By using this knowledge, students will develop skills to select useful equipment for these processes.

This course, Process Plan Design, introduces students to techniques and methods related to process and product design. Students should recognize development elements in a process. Students should apply different courses learned in their Chemical En- gineering major. They must complement this knowledge by developing simulation work and process calculation. Students must establish solutions to specific problems.

This course develops and evaluates last-semester student abilities to confront a problem autonomously while using methods and procedures for solutions in En- gineering. It is expected that the students can integrate previously acquired competencies and knowl- edge in different areas of the learning process while developing their Graduation Project. ,English,-

The purpose of this course is to provide a fundamental understanding of the principles that govern the principles of diffusive and convective transport in various systems of interest for Chemical Engineering. To such end, modern tools and methods of heat and mass problem analysis are presented. Analysis includes both qualitative analysis (the one that does not require solution of partial differential equations and its borderline conditions) and the analytic solution that applies various mathematical methods and techniques. These analyses are supplemented by the application of advanced computer tools that include specialized packages such as Matlab, COMSOL and ANSYS-CFX, which enable the computer solution of complex systems for which the analytical solution is difficult.
