Abstract

Let’s keep in mind that SE really is just an incremental albeit important improvement over existing process design, and product design and development engineering. As such, the classic methodologies of economic evaluation, product development, conceptual as well as detailed design engineering, process control, maintainability, operability, profitability, etc. all still hold. The big differences of course include:
