Until Recently
Emphasis was on the design of
commodity chemical processes
Recently
Emphasis has been shifting toward
product design i.e., of specialty and
industrial chemicals, and consumer products
Throughout this workshop, we seek to focus
on the quantitative aspects of product design
appropriate for undergraduate design courses.
