New eLearning System Now Live
A new eLearning System was launched on Friday, December 12th. Please note: Any courses that were incomplete prior to launch will need to be restarted. We are currently working to restore past course completion data, which is expected to be updated through December 22nd. If you notice missing content or incorrect training records, please contact us at CustomerService@aiche.org. Kindly allow 2–3 business days for responses.
This online course covers fundamentals in mixing theory including a section on scale-up, practical applications to mixing technology and advanced topics such as solid-liquid process. Engineers gain an excellent understanding of the fundamentals of mixing and how to apply the right technology to the mixing process.
This is a chance to broaden your perspective, whether you’re a director of engineering and/or research, process engineer doing research, mechanical equipment specialist, technician, development/design engineer, chemist or vendor engineer.
