Dear colleagues,



My new book "Learn Aspen Plus in 24 Hours" (ISBN 978-1-260-11645-8, $60, 

208pp) is now available for preorder through McGraw-Hill with a release 

date of August 25, 2017. The book, made in partnership with the CAChE Corp, 

was made after CAChE identified a need for better educational materials for 

teaching Aspen Plus in chemical engineering. 



Key Points:



* Consists of twelve, 2-hour tutorials that take a student from no prior 

experience to advanced problem solving skills.



* Developed over a seven year period with the feedback from students and 

professors at McMaster University, Auburn University, North Carolina State 

University, Northwestern University, and West Virginia University



* The book is not a user guide or reference manual. It is an experiential 

learning tool designed to teach critical thinking, problem solving, and 

troubleshooting skills while teaching how to use the software.



* Excellent for process design and/or flowsheet simulation type courses



* Can be used piecemeal over the duration of the chemical engineering 

curriculum, such that some chapters could be used in mass & energy 

balances, heat transfer, separations, reactions, and other courses.



For more information about the book, including pre-ordering information, 

specific advice on how to integrate the book into your courses, and  

workshop materials developed for the ASEE summer school, see:
