This paper discusses a new course on Process Design and Operation offered to Control and Instrumentation Engineering Technology students at the University of Houston –Downtown. The objective of this course is the computer aided design and optimization of process operations. Processes are selected from major industrial sectors such as chemical, refining and bio-processes. Modeling and simulation of these processes is facilitated by using the Aspen Engineering suite of tools. Such tools are widely used by the process industries to design and optimize process operations. By completing this course, students learn about different processes, equipment and optimization techniques. Groups of three to four students work together on team projects. The organization, execution, and results from such projects demonstrate the skills acquired by the students.
