Process Engineering Drawings & Diagrams

Course Description:

This course introduces students to the fundamental engineering diagrams and drawings used in the process industry, including Block Flow Diagrams (BFDs), Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs), Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), and others.

Students will learn to read, interpret, and analyze these diagrams, identifying key components, process flow, instrumentation, and control systems. They will also develop skills in creating basic engineering diagrams using industry-standard software tools, ensuring clarity and consistency through the application of industry symbols and standards.

• Get to know the most common types of Process Engineering Diagrams & Drawings used in the Industry
• Read, Interpret, Understand, Draw, Fix, Review these Diagrams
• Model & Draw using Softwares such as MS Visio, Visual Paradigm, Draw.io, AutoCad and such
• Common Industry Standards, Norms, & Codes
• Read & Create: Block Flow Diagrams,Process Flow Diagrams,Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams
• Understand other types of diagrams such as: Elevation Diagrams, HAZOP Diagram, Loop Control Diagram, General Arrangement Drawings, Isometric Piping Drawings, etc.
• Purpose and Scope of Engineering Diagram

Recommended Audience:

The course will be assessed through quizzes.

Prerequisites: Basic Process Engineering background (understanding chemical processes, etc.)

Recommended Course Follow-up: Continue with a PFD Drawing Course, or in a How to Read & Create P&ID Course.
