Abstract

This work reflects on the use of scenario- and problem-based learning as a way of conveying not only fundamental knowledge, but also to provide training in the use of computational Process Systems Engineering (PSE) tools applied to open-ended real world problems. The teaching framework also has a strong emphasis on the development of professional skills and to evaluate the recommended design solutions considering multiple perspectives such as economics, safety, environment and societal context. The framework is implemented through week-long group projects called Scenarios, taking place mainly in the first two years of study, and examples are given of different variations of Scenarios. This teaching approach has multiple benefits, including but not limited to, students’ understanding of PSE tools and the development of their critical engineering thinking.
