Course Description

  • Evaluate the essence of process intensification, energy analysis, and artificial intelligence.
  • Apply these concepts to realize a sustainable process industry.

Course Learning Outcomes

The Sustainable Process Engineering course has a scope of study materials in the form of three main pillars of the elements that make up Sustainable Process Engineering, namely process intensification, energy analysis, and artificial intelligence for industry. The language of instruction used in learning is Indonesian. Learning is implemented using interactive lecture methods and case studies. The learning mode in this course is offline, with the use of EMAS UI and Microsoft Teams for distributing lecture materials as well as collecting assignments and exercises.
