Abstract

Achieving the United Nations sustainable development goals requires
industry and society to develop tools and processes that work at all
scales, enabling goods delivery, services, and technology to large
conglomerates and remote regions. Process Intensification (PI) is a
technological advance that promises to deliver means to reach these
goals, but higher education has yet to totally embrace the program.
Here, we present practical examples on how to better teach the
principles of PI in the context of the Bloom’s taxonomy and summarise
the current industrial use and the future demands for PI, as a
continuation of the topics discussed in Part 1. In the appendices, we
provide details on the existing PI courses around the world, as well as
teaching activities that are showcased during these courses to aid
students’ lifelong learning. The increasing number of successful
commercial cases of PI highlight the importance of PI education for both
students in academia and industrial staff.
