Duration:

This course is approximately 3 weeks in duration.

Learning Method:

The PDDP program is more of a self-guided learning style.
You are required to read the notes and materials given, complete the follow-up assignments on your own, send in your questions prior to your 1 hour webinar meeting (if required) and be involved in live discussion via the internet.
Once you have completed the course, you will receive a certificate of completion

Description
Chemical Engineering is a branch of engineering that is involved in design, operation and management of different plants and factories such as petroleum, petrochemicals, food & drink industry, pharmaceutical factories, and oil & gas. The most common aspect between these processes is the chemical reactions and chemical unit operations. As result of the wide variety of chemical processes, chemical engineers must know all the concepts related to chemical engineering such as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, mass transfer, and reaction engineering. Without these fundamentals, chemical engineers may not be able to understand the operation of process units and succeed in the proper design of chemical processes.
Nowadays however, non-engineers are increasingly expected to work with chemical engineers on projects, scale-ups and process evaluations. But to do so, they need a solid understanding of the basic concepts of chemical engineering analysis, design and calculations. This short course was design to give non-engineers the fundamentals of chemical engineering that they need in order to understand, communicate and work with chemical engineers.

Objective
This two-day course is designed to provide non-engineers with an overview of the most key aspects of chemical engineering as well as its applications. The course explains the basic parts of chemical engineering and most unit operation involved in chemical engineering in a simple way. The sessions will focus on relevant and practical issues, and will include a combination of classroom exercises and basic engineering problems.

Target Audience
All those working in the chemical, petrochemical, oil and process industries with a need to understand and discuss fundamental chemical engineering and technology issues with a chemical engineering specialist or other professional. These will include:

Process Development Engineers
Manufacturing and Industrial Engineers
Process Engineers
Mechanical Engineers
Plastics & Material Engineers
Production Engineers
Food Scientists
Environmental Engineers
Chemical Engineering Technologists
Environmental Technicians
Maintenance Supervisors
Laboratory Technicians
Chemical Plant Operators
Project Managers and Engineers

Learning Outcomes

Understand the most important fundamental concepts in chemical engineering
Improve the knowledge of chemical unit operation and chemical reaction engineering principles
Gain a good knowledge regarding the chemical engineering equipment design and scale up concepts
Understand and troubleshoot the main operational problems of chemical process
Learn how to optimize and control different types of chemical process

The PDDP Distance Education program works as follows:

Once you register for this course, you will be sent a login username and password for our online distance website.

You will receive the course notes in hard copy through the online website, you will receive a set of notes each week covering the course material.
A one hour video-conference session will be conducted by your instructor each week (if required). The objective of this session is to assist in solving the assignments, as well as answer student questions that should be sent to instructor early enough prior to the meeting time. In addition with being able to communicate with the instructor, you will also be able to communicate with other students in the same class and watch their questions being answered as well. (A high speed internet connection is strongly recommended for this feature).
Each set of exercises can be completed and submitted by the indicated date and your completed exercise will be marked online and and returned by your instructor.
To gain the most from your course, it is highly recommended that you participate fully in all discussions and exercises. Please remember that each course has a form of quiz or exercise at the end to test your understanding of the material. You will be informed of these dates when you receive the course schedule.

*Course commencement date is subject to instructor availability.

Fares Almomani

Fares Almomani has a Ph.D in chemical engineering from Barcelona University, and is a registered professional engineer in the province of Ontario (OPE). He has over 10 years of industrial experience in separation processes while working in Canada, Germany, and Jordan. He has more than 7 years of practical engineering experience with petroleum and petrochemical industries (3 years process engineer at Jordan petroleum refinery, certified master trainer in enhance team performance, USA Tracom Company and DOW chemicals). He has worked in different capacities including shift engineer at Jordan Petroleum Refinery, associate professor at Jordanian university for 12 years, industrial consultant and project planning.

He is currently working as instructor and researcher at Carleton University in the areas of industrial and municipal wastewater treatment process development, modeling, and optimization. He has published more than 50 reviewed journal articles, conference papers, conference presentations, and engineering reports.

Dr. Almomani has carried out more than 15 projects funded by industry, research organizations, and government departments. He has taught undergraduate courses in chemical engineering, separation processes, chemical engineering for non-engineers, biochemical engineering, environmental engineering, environmental protection, environmental engineering fundamentals, probability and statistics for engineers, and chemical and physical treatment processes.
