Registration will begin at 7:30 am outside the Peak 5 ballroom at Beaver Run Resort.
Please bring your laptop to our workshop. Throughout the workshop, we will be working on a case study involving the design of a compact fluorescent light bulb product. We will use wireless high-speed Internet communications to access patents and information for solution of the case study over the Internet.
We look forward to seeing you in Breckenridge.
Warren Seider and Soemantri Widagdo
This one-day workshop will introduce new approaches for teaching product and process design - accompanied by new teaching materials. New topics will be included on product design, with emphasis on the relationship between product and process design. Product design-oriented topics will include innovation maps, molecular-structure design, the Stage-Gate™ Product-Development Process, and the design of basic (e.g., commodity and specialty chemicals), industrial (e.g., films, fibers, thin-glass substrates for LCDs), and configured-consumer chemical products (e.g., hand-warmers, home hemodialysis devices, labs-on-a-chip). Process design-oriented topics will continue to include the use of multimedia techniques for teaching the use of the major process simulators (ASPEN PLUS and HYSYS (ASPEN HYSYS or UNISIM)) in the core courses of chemical engineering, leading to and including, the senior design course(s). Also included will be techniques for equipment sizing and cost estimation, profitability analysis, and six-sigma methods for process and product design.
This workshop is available at NO COST to attendees of the FOCAPD conference. Those interested will be able to register online.
FOCAPD Online Registration
PowerPoint slides will be printed for distribution to the attendees in a loose-leaf binder. Copies of the PowerPoint files will be placed on CD-ROMs and distributed to the attendees.
Teaching materials on product and process design, by the instructors as well as other authors, will be discussed, including textbooks and course notes. Browse copies will be available for examination and discussion.
Participants will be encouraged to briefly share their approaches to teaching the various topics presented throughout the workshop.
