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 introduces concepts of optimization, specifically process optimization with applications in the chemical industry. By the end of the course students will recognize application areas of numerical optimization. Students will be able to formulate and solve optimization problems, applying the main algorithms and some commercial tools in order to solve these kinds of problems.

The purpose of this course is to have students prepare a research project on a topic of interest applying scientific research methods. We expect that the project com- pleted during this course will help each student with graduation project. Students present this graduation project to meet basic requirements in order to obtain their chemical engi- neering degree.

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,-
