"Application of Computers in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering is an elective course for the undergraduates whose specialty is related to chemistry. In this course, the teaching focuses on the application of the advanced computer technologies on the resolution of practical problems in the fields of chemistry and chemical engineering, which helps to improve their work efficiency and to cultivate their ability in the scientific research and practical work.
This course is concise and practical. In the class, there is practice on computers as well as theory teaching. To broaden the sight of students, enlighten their thinking and excite their interest, the teaching focuses not only on the explaination of the basic knowledge and the method of application of the softwares, but also on the introduction of the new development in this field. Besides, the students are also encouraged to apply computers in solving the practical problems which they meet in their experiments and scientific research."
Chemical Engineering
化学工程，简称化工，是研究以化学工业为代表以及其他过程工业（例如石油炼制、冶金、食品及印染工业等）生产过程中有关化学过程与物理过程的一般原理和规律，并且应用这些规律来解决过程及装置的开发、设计、操作及改善问题的工程技术学科。它主要研究大规模改变物料中的化学组成及其机械和物理性质。 简单地定义化学工程的本质，它以数学及少量的物理观念为基础应用于化学工业上，替生产各式化学品或物料的工厂提供一个最节省成本的反应流程设计方式。实验研究、理论分析和科学计算已经成为当代化工研究中不可或缺的三种主要手段。
