Systematic engineering analysis of chemical processes led to the definition of a series of unit operations, such as distillation, absorption, and filtration, which are common to different chemical processes (e.g., see W. L. McCabe and J. C. Smith, Unit Operations in Chemical Engineering, 2nd ed., McGraw-Hill, New York, 1967). 

A thorough understanding of the mechanism and kinetics of a chain process is essential to the systematic engineering of any chain reaction so that a specified purpose can be achieved. An empirical approximation of the rate of reaction simply does not supply the necessary information. 

The formation of ultrathin surface layers (10 nm thick or less), either through bottom-up approaches such as self-assembly or the application of surface coatings through synthetic chemistry on different types of surfaces, is one of the major research areas for membrane surface modification. The main reason for such interest is the number of applications requiring relatively defect-free surfaces with systematically engineered properties. Coatings are predominantly used to enhance the performance of nanofibrous scaffolds. 

System safety The discipline that uses systematic engineering and management techniques to aid in making systems safe throughout their life cycles.

Like most engineering problems, this one does have a solution. And the solution is not that difficult to implement nor costly. What it does entail is considerable forethought, systematic engineering analysis, and a methodical approach to managing risk. It also requires government and industry to collaborate to improve safety as a joint project— not independently. As you will see in reading this book, system safety engineering is not difficult to apply—in fact, it is almost easy. 

As discussed in [10], whenever prescriptive processes mandated by the standards exhibit evident similarities they can be treated as a safety-oriented process line. This fosters reuse of process elements thanks to the systematic engineering of commonahties and variabilities between processes. To identify commonalities and variabihties between tool quahfication processes, the guidelines provided in [10] are followed. Thus, for each standard and for each phase, the following actions are taken ...

Philosophy of science has an active role in the scientific studies since the science became independently spelled out from the philosophy during the renaissance period. In the last decades, through patent institutions, philosophy of technology started to ripen, and there are many articles in the literature about such aspects [8, 15, 21]. However, philosophy of engineering is a very recent debate in the world, since the last several years [4]. Hence, philosophy of science is an overlooked or delayed aspect for systematic engineering creative thinking. This... 

The Barrier Analysis method aims at assessing the safety margin of the plant, given occurrences of a specific events. It is a systematic engineering approach designed to indicate the strengths of barriers which are available for a variety of events analysed. For the analysis of a shutdown operating mode, the Barrier Analysis was used by a utility in Sweden. 

Therefore, in parallel, more systematic engineering design tools must be developed to capture the capability of and utilise the results from the new generations of detailed mathematical models. This will ensure rapid technology transfer from research to design.
