  • Design and Construction of Cleanroom Facilities

    Credits: 3 PDH

    PDH Course Description:

    This course provides a comprehensive examination of the engineering principles, design methodologies, and construction practices involved in the development of cleanroom facilities. Clean rooms are controlled environments crucial for industries such as semiconductor manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, aerospace, and advanced materials research. The course explores classification systems, environmental control strategies, air filtration technologies, pressure and flow dynamics, material specifications, construction protocols, and operational considerations. Through detailed analysis and technical instruction, this course equips engineers with the knowledge required to participate in the planning, design, and execution of clean room environments that meet strict contamination control requirements.

    Topics:

    Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
    • Explain the classification and regulatory standards governing clean rooms.
    • Understand clean room layouts based on contamination control, air flow, and personnel flow.
    • Select appropriate HVAC and filtration systems suitable for clean room classes.
    • Specify proper materials, finishes, and construction techniques to minimize particle generation.
    • Understand and apply principles of pressure differentials, air exchange rates, and zoning.
    • Address commissioning, certification, and long-term maintenance requirements of clean rooms.
    • Integrate mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems in clean room construction.
    • Analyze and troubleshoot contamination risks throughout the facility lifecycle.
