1) Convert values of temperature, pressure, flow and composition from one set of units to another and provide the result with an appropriate number of significant figures.
2) Use a spreadsheet and "numerical scratchpad" for simple numerical calculations, to display curves and to fit measurements to a simple two-parameter curve.
3) Read and use graphical and tabular information and interpolate in a table.
4) Draw and label a block flow diagram given a simple process description.
5) Set up and solve steady state mass balance problems for systems with and without chemical reaction, recycle and purge streams.

8) Work in groups to set up and solve open-ended problems with limited information.
