Proof-of-Concept: Integration of Process Safety into Chemical Engineering Curriculum Core Courses - Concepts, Procedures, and Educational Material Development

工程-化学(53)美国化学工程师学会(AIChE)化学工艺中心(CCPS)已经确定了工业需求，以帮助全国的化学工程系在其课程的核心课程中添加安全元素。此外，我们的团队回顾了化工过程行业的事故历史，发现重大事故的数量每年都在继续上升。对我们的社会来说，可悲的后果是死亡、受伤和环境破坏。不幸的是，我们的执业工程师中只有一小部分拥有适当的安全文化，并接触到关键的安全概念来影响这一负面表现。为了克服这些问题，我们已经确定了关键的想法和有效的教学技术来帮助教授教授其中的一些。我们一直在努力克服在涵盖化学加工的核心课程中缺乏安全培训的问题。我们将讲授的课程是质量和能量平衡、动力学和植物设计与经济学。我们使用不同的教学方法，为每门课程创建了两个半小时的讲座和单元形式的练习。我们评估了这些材料和我们的方法的有效性，并作出了许多修改。为了帮助传播我们的课程材料和模块，我们正在与美国化学工程师学会(AIChE)化学工艺中心(CCPS)成员合作。我们还与我们的出版商萨奇合作，在他们的时事通讯、网站和他们的研讨会上展示我们的材料。

Engineering - Chemical (53)The Center for Chemical Process (CCPS) of American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) has established an industrial need to help Chemical Engineering Departments in the nation add an element of safety to the core courses in their curriculum. In addition our team has reviewed the accident history of the chemical process industry and has found that the number of major accidents continues to rise every year. The sad consequences for our society are deaths, injuries, and environmental damage. Unfortunately only a fraction of our practicing engineers have the appropriate safety culture and exposure to key safety concepts to impact this negative performance. To overcome these problems we have identified key ideas and effective pedagogical techniques to help professors teach a number of these. Our effort has been to overcome this lack of safety training in core course covering chemical processing. The courses we will address are Mass and Energy Balances, Kinetics, and Plant Design and Economics. We have created two one half hour lectures as well as exercises in a modular format for each course using different teaching methodologies. We have assessed the effectiveness of these materials and our approach and have made numerous changes. To help with dissemination of our course materials and modules we are working cooperatively with member of the Center for Chemical Process (CCPS) of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE). We are also working with our publisher SACHE to present our materials in their newsletters, web site, and through their workshops.
