Computer Packages For Chemical Egineers

This document outlines the course compact for CHE 317 Computer Packages for Chemical Engineers offered at Covenant University during the 2015/2016 academic session. The course is a 3-unit course taught over 15 weeks that introduces students to using software packages like MATLAB, Hysys, Excel, and Maple for applications in chemical engineering. Students will learn to use these packages to simulate and design chemical processes. Assessment includes assignments, midterm exam, and a final exam worth 15%, 15%, and 70% respectively. The goal is for students to appreciate using computers to improve subject understanding and apply software in process simulation and design.
