Abstract

In this paper the “Unit Operations and Separation Processes” area of a virtual platform called LABVIRTUAL (http://labvirtual.eq.uc.pt) is presented. The objective is to support the study of students engaged in a Chemical Engineering degree, especially in Portuguese-speaking countries. It is argued that these web tools support the autonomous study of the students, contributing to develop their critical and creative thinking, and enabling more practical approaches to the different chemical processes. Moreover, it is shown how coupling, in the same platform, sections directed to basic concepts/mechanisms, with sections directed to process design, contributes to knowledge integration and to a better understanding of the design methodologies for each process.
