Engineering Drawing for Chemical Engineers

This course introduces chemical engineers and students to the fundamental principles of engineering drawing used in process design and documentation. Participants will also explore how Block Flow Diagrams (BFDs), Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs), and Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) form the visual foundation of every chemical process plant.

Through a combination of conceptual lessons, industrial examples, and drawing exercises, learners will develop the ability to read, interpret, and create technical diagrams that communicate process intent clearly and accurately. Whether you’re a student preparing for plant design projects or a professional aiming to strengthen your process documentation skills, this course provides a structured and practical pathway to mastering engineering drawing in chemical engineering.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

1. Explain the role and importance of engineering drawings in chemical process design.

2. Interpret and construct process flow diagrams using standard engineering symbols, line notations, and instrumentation codes.

3. Develop a complete set of process documentation (BFD → PFD → P&ID) for a simple chemical plant using appropriate drawing tools and conventions.
