O papel da disciplina de PAPCEQ na formação do engenheiro químico e elaboração de material didático

Abstract

The usage of spreadsheets by science and technology students can be helpful solving complex problems quickly. In the UFSCar’s chemical engineering course we have a specific subject to aid students in the usage of such technologies to solve specific chemical engineering problems and also to help automate and solve other kinds of situations. This paper’s goal is to discuss and demonstrate how important this subject is to the engineer education, also the main goal is to present a courseware, which can be used to teach the subject and also as reference material for the students in other subjects. To achieve that, a brief literature review was made to understand how this kind of material is built and to seek for specific examples that can appear in day-to-day life of a chemical engineer. As for results, we have the courseware as an appendix and a better understanding of how important this subject is to the engineering students.
