A series of computer simulations of industrial chemical engineering processes designed to be used as senior chemical engineering laboratory “experiments” are being developed. Each company sponsor has also produced a 20‐minute videotape of the process so that students may “tour” the facilities. Four modules have been completed. Two additional modules are currently being developed. The distribution of all materials will be handled by CACHE. Although the modules were designed for use in the senior chemical engineering laboratory course, schools report success in applying the modules in other chemical engineering courses.
