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: http://psecommunity.org/books/lap24 Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have ([log in to unmask]).
