Engineer: term engineering science

Of course, specialized materials constitute only one aspect of chemical engineering in the life sciences. The term life sciences has become about as vague as the term biotechnology. But in the industrial context life sciences for the chemical engineer can be divided into at least two areas processes to synthesize compounds and systems applied for biological results. 

In process operations, simultaneous transfer of momentum, heat, and mass occur within the walls of the equipment vessels and exchangers. Transfer processes usually take place with turbulent flow, under forced convection, with or without radiation heat transfer. One of the purposes of engineering science is to provide measurements, interpretations and theories which are useful in the design of equipment and processes, in terms of the residence time required in a given process apparatus. This is why we are concerned here with the coefficients of the governing rate laws that permit such design calculations.

Engineering sciences state relations among measurable properties so that a technological system or process can be analyzed mathematically (Ferguson, 1992). The term model is adopted here to refer to the ensemble of equations that describes and interrelates the variables and parameters of a system or process (Basmadjan,...

Fourth, a framework for engineering practice could help students learn more quickly. Theories provide ways of thinking about phenomena that enable students to learn more quickly from their mistakes. This is well known in education (Bransford et al., 2000, Ch. 1). Graduates from courses that emphasise theory learn faster when they encounter the world of practice because they can interpret observations in terms of theories and learn how to improve performance. The explanatory power of engineering science theories developed in the 20th century underpinned the extraordinary industrial progress that has been achieved in the last few decades, for at least part of the world s population. ...
