Conceptual design and process intensification specialization

Engineers will be able to design and create future factories. They will get familiar with CAD tools with conceptual approaches of the process and optimisation methods leading to an optimal design of production units. An introductory vision to new generation processes are also proposed, in particular for multitask devices such as reactive distillation or micro-processes.
