A report on - MAAC Orientation Program, 'Development of Animation as a Tool for Learning Chemical Engineering Principles'
Department of Chemical Engineering and Maya Academy of Advanced Cinematics jointly organized an orientation program on “Development of Animation as a Tool for Learning Chemical Engineering Principles”.
Chemical engineering plays a major role in our day-to-day life experience. Unit operations and unit process  are two major classification in chemical engineering. Using these principles, chemical plant and equipment design can be done. We need software tools for easy design o f equipment and plant. MAAC tool helps us to do the same. So we organized the orientation program for our chemical engineering students. MAAC tool is basically animation tool. Many other tools like, Aspen HYSIS, Xchanger Suite, CHEMCAD etc are available. MAAC also helps to animate the process.
150 students have attended the program held at veena hall. Mr. K S Dandapani Centre Head, MAAC Arasur, KPR Institute of Engineering and Technology (KPRIET), Coimbatore, presented his talk and inspired the students on the use of animation as a powerful tool in Chemical Engineering. Senior professors and faculty members have attended the program. At the end of the session, Mr. K S Dandapani interacted with the students and faculty members, and cleared their doubts in animation and how the animation as a tool helps us in learning chemical engineering principles. It was very useful and interacting session for students and faculty members. Finally, Students able to get knowledge about MAAC animation which is used in chemical engineering.
