3.00 Credits
Pre-requisite: Senior standing or departmental approval. The elements of industrial design and supporting economics are presented in the context of a representative design project. Extension of the student’s early background in unit operations through practical design considerations including materials of construction is accomplished. Methods are presented for capital and operating cost estimation, raw materials and utilities pricing, and assembly of investment costs, taxes, environmental and other site requirements. Realistic design constraints are included; e.g., economic factors, safety, reliability aesthetics, ethics, and social impact. Class Hours: (Lecture 3)
-
3.00 Credits
A survey into the fundamental aspects of gene delivery and their application to gene therapy. Topics include various gene carriers, carrier/DNA interaction and complex formation, complex interactions with cells and cell structures, targeting, gene therapy applications, host response. A knowledge of cell and molecular biology is not required. Class Hours: (Lecture 3)
-
3.00 Credits
Pre-requisite: CHEM 2410/2430. Biochemistry is the study of the chemistry and chemical processes involved with the molecules that are utilized by living organisms. This two-semester series will provide an in-depth coverage of carbon- and nitrogen-containing molecules such as proteins and DNA and certain cofactors. In the first semester enzyme kinetics and catalysis will be covered, along with carbohydrates and their metabolism. The metabolic pathways and associated bioenergetics of glycolysis and the TCA cycle will be examined in detail. The material will be related to everyday life, diet, nutrition, and exercise performance. Class Hours: (Lecture 3)
-
3.00 Credits
Pre-requisite: CENG 4450. This course is a continuation of CENG 4450 (please refer to the related course description). Principles taught in CENG 4450 will be extended as they are applied to lipids and nitrogen-containing molecules, and the metabolism of each. Example molecules include fats, triglycerides, DNA, amino acids, heme, and urea. The interplay of biochemistry and molecular biology will also be examined. Class Hours: (Lecture 3)
-
3.00 Credits
Pre-requisite: MATH 2240. An introduction to linear control theory is presented in which processes are described mathematically through transfer functions and conventional three-mode controllers are specified. Other topics are introduced including inverse response, cascade control, feedforward control, dead-time compensation, and multivariable control. Automatic control systems are designed for a number of actual non-linear processes described by computer software. Class Hours: (Lecture 3)
-
3.00 Credits
A study of chemistry, physics, and applications of sol gel processing. Designs and fabrications of functional and nanostructured materials. Recent advances of sol-gel science in nanotechnology, microelectronics, and biomedical engineering. Class Hours: (Lecture 3)
-
3.00 Credits
Pre-requisite: Senior Standing. Students are placed in groups of three or four and are assigned to a project at a local industrial facility, hospital, or government agency. The project is one of current concern to the organization and may range from a study of an operating process to the development of a new process. The projects are open ended and the students are expected to apply the principles of good design practice involving realistic constraints such as economics, safety, reliability, aesthetics, ethics, and social impact. Students normally are assigned to a project which fulfills certain career goals. This internship, under the direction of a faculty member, utilizes engineers and other personnel at the host site. Students are required to submit interim and final written and oral reports. Students in the chemical and biomolecular engineering program may participate in the department’s cooperative work program. This program allows students considering employment after the B.S. degree to gain valuable work experience in the chemical engineering field during their undergraduate career. In the Fall semester of their second year, students are interviewed by employers for three individual work periods (the two summers following the second and third years of study and part-time during the spring semester of the fourth year). To participate, students must commit to work for the same employer during all three sessions. Those who complete all three sessions with satisfactory performance will receive six credits at the conclusion of the fourth year spring semester and do not have to participate in Practice School to graduate. Students who stop participating in the coop program must register for and participate in Practice School during the spring semester of their fourth year of study. All exceptions to these guidelines must be decided by the department’s undergraduate curriculum committee. Class Hours: (Lecture plus Practicum 8) Satisfies: Capstone requirement for majors.
