Engineering holistic approach

Fig. 6.1. Green engineering is a holistic approach to green process development and design.

Development in these areas will also provide opportunities for new business models, utilizing various feedstocks and directly targeting specific product end-use properties. A holistic approach is depicted to rationally integrate innovative chemistry and engineering developments and to develop the most viable option regarding the whole process. 

In other words, how to link in a reliable way, with limited information, the macroscale process performance to local phenomena at the meso- (membrane pore) if not at the nano- (solute-solute or solute-barrier interactions) scale levels. To answer these questions, there is a need for a new methodology, based on chemical engineering principles, with a holistic approach involving well-balanced experimental/simulation/modeling parts. A first attempt to tackle this question was carried out a few years ago with a particular example the purification by ultrafiltration (UF) of a small neutral molecule from a fermentation broth, constituted of unknown peptides and proteins with sizes ranging on a very large scale [28-30]. 

So what is exactly is the nature of the holistic cure for mainstream medicine right now It is the scientific and engineering impact of the Internet on the holistic approach that will be highlighted in the second half of this chapter. According to David Collin, MPH, American Cancer Society, Oakland, CA, who clearly shares the vision of the link between aspects of holistic medicine and modem technology ...

The curricular scheme below was prepared by the author as an example of the holistic approach to engineering education in Sao Paulo University. It includes accreditation units as the measurement of coursework, with one (1) unit of accreditation equal to a 50 minute class. One hour of lab or supervised work is equal to half (1/2) of an accreditation unit.
