Abstract

Integrating Continuous Pharmaceutical Manufacturing into the Chemical Engineering CurriculumOver the past several years we have explored ways to incorporate concepts of pharmaceuticalengineering within the chemical engineering curriculum. Our initial efforts in this area havebeen directed towards the integration of these concepts in freshman and sophomore levelcourses. This provides an experience that reinforces core educational objectives and increasesstudent interest in the pharmaceutical field. This paper is a continuation of our educationalmethods development, and will describe several pharmaceutical and consumer producteducational modules. These modules include both laboratory and course-related activities forboth lower and upper-level chemical engineering courses. These are based on APImanufacturing and finished drug production processes. We are exposing students to theimportant area of continuous manufacturing of pharmaceutical products. This is a growing areaof interest for the drug industry. This work is part of the educational outreach efforts of the NSFERC for Structured Organic Particulate Systems (NSF grant # ECC0540855).
