Desenvolvimento de aplicação web em django como ferramenta de auxílio pedagógico para o ensino de operações com estágios

Abstract

The continuous progress of engineering has been intrinsically linked to technological advancement. The intersection between these two areas drives innovations and transformations in various sectors. In this context, chemical engineering stands out as a fundamental discipline, playing a crucial role in the design and optimization of industrial processes. The teaching of this discipline is of paramount importance to educate professionals capable of facing the challenges of the industry. The use of technology in the teaching process is an essential tool to provide a more practical education aligned with market demands. The development of this application, explored in detail throughout this work, emerges as a response to this need, aiming to facilitate the analysis and simulation of industrial project scenarios. By allowing adjustments to parameters and validating different hypotheses, it offers a practical and interactive approach for students. The application, available online for free, can undertake the design of multiple pieces of equipment, providing an accessible experience for students and teachers. Its validation, conducted through problems related to the design of mass transfer unit operations equipment, confirms its accuracy and utility in the educational context. Thus, this tool not only represents an advancement in the integration of technology and education but also contributes to the training of professionals better prepared and equipped to face the challenges of chemical engineering in the contemporary industrial scenario.
