Reengineering Chemical Engineering Education for the Future
نویسندگان
چکیده
The recent reformulation of the Chemical Engineering curriculum at the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Coimbra, according to the paradigms of the Bologna process, created an unique opportunity to implement substantial changes, in line with the new emerging paradigms of Chemical Engineering. The curriculum reformulation process involved a broad discussion among the faculty members over the new avenues of Chemical Engineering Education. The new curriculum was outlined in line with the future directions of chemical engineering education reported by recent literature in the field of chemical engineering. It integrates subjects in the line of the new organizing principles for chemical engineering education: molecular transformations, multi-scale analysis, and a systems approach. The importance of subjects in the domain of life sciences is also emphasized. These curriculum changes aim for a new breed of chemical engineers, with an education and skills to succed in increasingly competitive and global markets, with highly integrated and complex technological, economical, environmental, and social challenges. Index Terms – Future of Chemical Engineering, Chemical Engineering Education, Bologna Process, Curriculum reformulation.

متن کاملExperiences Reverse Engineering Manually
Better understanding manual reverse engineering can make it and any associated systems reengineering more effective. We reverse engineered a version of a system (referred to as "BOS/X") in support of a broader reengineering effort. System reengineering goals and other circumstances dictated a focused, limited duration, manual reverse engineering exercise. This presented an opportunity to study ...
