Description
This course, Generative AI for Chemical Engineers, introduces participants to the transformative role of AI in modern chemical engineering workflows—from molecular design to digital twins. Beginning with a clear explanation of what Generative AI is and how it differs from classical AI systems, learners gain foundational insight into how AI models can not only predict outcomes but also create new molecules, processes, and documentation. Through an engineering-centric lens, students will explore zero-shot, one-shot, and few-shot prompting methods tailored for real-world applications in labs and process industries. The course then guides learners through instructional versus analytical prompting styles—empowering them to tailor AI behavior for specific use cases.In practical modules, learners will generate novel molecules using generative models, simulate reaction pathways, and optimize catalysts and reaction conditions. With a focus on downstream design, they’ll use prompts to create process flow diagrams (PFDs), piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), and control logic narratives. The course further enables learners to apply AI for unit operations like distillation, crystallization, and separation, as well as in polymer design, structure–property exploration, and lab batch report generation. Safety and regulatory compliance are integrated into the curriculum with lessons on HAZOP prompts, LOPA diagram generation, emergency SOPs, and AI-assisted simulation of runaway reactions and overpressure scenarios.In addition, learners will develop skills to configure digital twins, convert SOPs into simulation-ready logic, and tune control system behaviors using AI. Document automation is emphasized in modules covering patent drafting, technical report summarization, and sustainability analysis—including lifecycle and emission-related documentation. The capstone component offers over 1000 domain-specific prompts, giving engineers a powerful toolkit for daily work in research, process optimization, plant safety, and regulatory reporting. This course blends creativity and control—redefining how chemical engineers interact with AI in complex, safety-critical environments.
