Encyclopedic, self-paced instruction -- The multimedia package is organized in an encyclopedic fashion, providing self-paced instruction in the use of the commercial process simulators. The use of a web-browser to drive the multimedia presentations permits access on a campus-wide network. This organization allows students to access any item of interest from the contents page or index for the simulators supported (ASPEN PLUS or HYSYS), as well as MATLAB. Information is provided on the equipment items and their models in the simulators, as well as instruction on the step-by-step usage of the simulators, presented using animation and voice. Tutorials for Process Simulator use -- The multimedia package includes several self-contained tutorials that provide support for the use of the process simulators in conjunction with the core courses in chemical engineering. These help to introduce the simulators early in the chemical engineering curriculum. The tutorials are integrated with reference modules in an encyclopedia, which is hyperlinked from the tutorials.
