Necessity of Paying Attention to Product Design Beside Process Design in Chemical Engineering Education

In recent years the chemical process industry has faced important technical, economical and social challenges. As a result, the nature of its products, businesses, strategies and ultimately the needs associated with the skills and technical knowledge of chemical engineers suffered enormous evolutions. All of these, driving the minds to create a new branch of chemical engineering as chemical product design (CPD). Improve the situation of employment for chemical engineers through small businesses with low risk, is one of the advantages of CPD development in country. General procedure of chemical product design together with its characteristics and two case studies are introduced in this paper.
