Product Engineering: Molecular Structure and Properties: Chemical Engineering, James Wei

This book takes the approach that these three methods all teach valuable lessons, and is thus divided into three parts. Part 1 describes inspiring historic cases of product innovations, with a focus on the creative product engineering work involved. It is largely descriptive, and provides justifications for the analytical tools and synthesis efforts to follow. Part 2 covers molecular structure–property relations, which provides the analytical tools to search for materials with desired properties, as well as ways to modify materials to improve their properties. The subject of molecular structure–property relations has been tremendously enhanced by powerful new computer methods. Part 3 challenges the future product engineers to understand the design goals, and to satisfy both market demand and public acceptance. The culmination is a design project for the students to exercise creativity, and to make trade-offs in synthesizing numerous elements together to make a successful product.Engineers make useful things for people, and chemical engineers do it with chemistry.
The two main tasks are what we should make, or product engineering, and how we should make it, or process engineering. Both topics are important if we are to make with skill what people want. The current chemical engineering curriculum concentrates on the manufacturing process, which leads to efficient production, reduced cost, and improved safety.
