A recent survey conducted on the World Wide Web found that there are more than 25 chemical engineering departments offering such courses, and more than 100 departments are conducting certain chemical product engineering activities. Although not exhaustive, some pioneering courses are worthwhile Notice. A course focusing on the history and organization of new product innovation, molecular structure and attribute relationships. According to Westerberg and Subramanian, Carnegie Mellon University has been providing cross-cutting engineering product design for many years. Subject courses. Chemical product design is part of the required undergraduate courses at the University of Minnesota. Wei55 refers to the teaching work of other leading universities in the United States (including Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Columbia University) in this field. European chemical engineering departments have also been offering courses related to chemical product engineering. At Cambridge University, the chemical product design course is for seniors and other British universities have also introduced this theme in their courses. Wesselingh offers a chemical product engineering course jointly offered by the University of Groningen, University of Oldenburg and the German Research Institute für Lebensmitteltechnik (DIL) (German Food Processing Research Center). The University of Karlsruhe, the Technical University of Denmark and the University of Yugosnik (part of the National Institute of Technology of Lorraine) have launched teaching activities in this area. The University of Coimbra has opened a chemical product design course, which includes the principles of quality management and quality engineering. The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology offers a degree in chemical and biological product engineering, emphasizing the application of engineering to the design of chemical and biological products. This seems to be the first Undergraduate training focused on this subject.

Although these courses specifically for chemical product engineering are very important, it should be emphasized that in order to effectively teach this subject, these courses must be accompanied by a redefinition of the general teaching methods of chemical engineering. In addition to expanding the knowledge system and adopting multi-faceted methods, the introduction of process design courses and chemical engineering foundations should also be appropriately revised. Although chemical engineers are playing an increasingly important role in the chemical products business, process design will still be the center of the curriculum. However, traditional courses can be expanded and adjusted to include processes suitable for the production of chemical products, which differ in many respects from the processes normally used to produce goods. For example, the current separation process course that strongly emphasizes distillation may focus more on adsorption, liquid-liquid extraction, and recrystallization. The integration of chemical products and process design also requires attention. As Cussler and Wei, Hill and Villadse pointed out, it will be helpful to clearly teach the concepts and applications of property functions and process functions, and to illustrate process analysis with examples of chemical products. For example, the principles of fluid mechanics and rheology can be used to analyze the flow of toothpaste from a tube under external force. The Engineering Discipline Center in Loughborough, UK recently launched a project to provide such product-oriented examples for chemical engineering teaching.
There are some textbooks on chemical product design, but the general reference materials involved in the field of chemical product engineering are not: like Smith and Van Ness, Hogan and Watson for applied thermodynamics, like Bird, Lightford and Stewart for transmission The mathematical modeling of phenomena has not been completed in product engineering.
