Project Description |
Chemical engineering students should gain experience in design and development of the pharmaceutical processes and products. But the design procedure involves many calculations that may stifle creative thinking. To facilitate teaching and learning, this project aimed to develop software to integrate and simulate the design of unit operations, the complete process and dosage form. Students focused on choosing product attributes and manipulating the operating conditions; hence optimizing the product quality; production, capital and labour cost. The tool also allowed them to solve realistic problems and gain experience in product-centred pharmaceutical engineering in an interactive, virtual environment. |
