CM4120Chemical Plant Operations LabIntroduction to Chemical Manufacturing CM4120 Course Description: • A capstone laboratory course focused on chemical manufacturing processes from the perspective of manufacturing excellence. • Lecture material includes quality management, applications of statistical process control, and current trends in quality manufacturing. • Experimental reinforcement of these concepts occurs in the department's Process Simulation and Control Center pilot plants.
CM4120Chemical Plant Operations LabIntroduction to Chemical Manufacturing Educational goal: challenge each of you to understand and learn the applications of instrumentation and computer process control unit operations embedded w/in a chemical process process management quality manufacturing
The Process Simulation and Control Center Mission: • To provide a capstone laboratory experience for CM undergraduates that exposes our students to the Technologies, Practices, and Procedures common to contemporary chemical processing industries. • To provide a chemical manufacturing environment that allows research in the areas of process simulation and control.
The Process Simulation and Control Center Vision: • To expose our undergraduate students to the primary unit operations and process management technologies common to a multi-faceted CPI and to the economic environment that defines and constrains the CPI. This vision began in the late 1980’s and continues to evolve today.
