| Summary: | To align with current trends in chemical engineering education worldwide
and meet the industry’s expectations from chemical engineering graduates, the Faculty of Chemical Engineering at Amirkabir University of Technology undertook a
curriculum revision. It was conducted a comprehensive analysis of the curriculum
of selected universities across the globe, taking into account the industrial requirements. Based on this analysis, new syllabi for chemical engineering thermodynamic
courses, were developed. Based on the previous syllabus proposed by the Ministry of
Science, Research, and Technology, the thermodynamic courses offered in the chemical engineering programs at Iranian universities dedicated a significant portion of
the curriculum to various types of thermodynamic cycles. Consequently, the courses
did not sufficiently cover topics specific to chemical engineering, such as different
types of phase equilibria, in addition to vapor-liquid equilibrium. This article briefly
overviews the course content and syllabi, reference books commonly used, and teaching methods used in renowned universities worldwide for thermodynamic courses in
chemical engineering. Furthermore, we present the proposed syllabi and course plans,
along with valuable insights into teaching strategies, active learning approaches, and
recommended resources for thermodynamic courses. Our objective is to improve the
course plan and instructional techniques employed in teaching chemical engineering
thermodynamics. |
