Teaching Chemical Engineering with MATLAB, Simulink, and genAI
Overview
Computation lies at the heart of chemical engineering, and strong computational skills open diverse career pathways. MATLAB and Simulink are widely used in the chemical process industries for data analysis, optimization, modeling, and process control.
This session presents industrial success stories and practical strategies for integrating computational thinking across the chemical engineering curriculum. We will also explore the growing role of AI and Generative AI in chemical engineering education and industry, including responsible implementation and effective classroom integration using MathWorks tools.
Highlights
- Industrial applications of MATLAB in chemical processing
- App-based workflows, interactive Live Scripts, and scalable teaching tools such as MATLAB Grader
- Curriculum alignment with core chemical engineering courses: heat transfer, fluid dynamics, reaction kinetics, labs, and process control
- Strategies for integrating AI and Generative AI into chemical engineering education
