The Principles of Chemical Engineering course is a fundamental course for major majors such as Chemical and Pharmaceutical Engineering, Chemistry and Environment. This course applies the basic theory of transmission process to study the basic principles of chemical unit operation, with process engineering as the teaching background, and explains the process and equipment principles of unit operation in theory and practice. It is an introductory course that transitions from fundamental courses in the field of natural sciences to specialized courses in engineering sciences. To cultivate students' ability to analyze and solve various problems in unit operations, namely the skills of unit equipment operation management, design, reinforcement, and process development in actual production.
