-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite(s): CBE 231. The design of industrial methods for separating mixtures. Distillation; liquid-liquid extraction; membranes; absorption. Computer simulations of the processes.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite(s): Sophomore Standing. The principles of green design, life cylce analysis, industrial ecology, pollution prevention and waste minimization, and sustainable development are introduced to engineers of all disciplines as a means to identify and solve a variety of emerging environmental problems. Case studies are used to assess the problems and devise rational solutions to minimize environmental consequences.
-
3.00 Credits
Seider. Prerequisite(s): CBE 371. Process synthesis, steady-state simulation, second-law analysis heat integration, cost estimation and profitability analysis, plant-wide controllability assessment.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite(s): CBE 351, 371. Experimental studies in heat and mass transfer, separations and chemical reactors to verify theoretical concepts and learn laboratory techniques. Methods for analyzing and presenting data. Report preparation and the presentation of an oral technical report.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite(s): BE 223, CBE 231, CHEM 221, MEAM203, MSE 260, or equivalent course in thermodynamics or physical chemistry. Plastics, rubbers, proteins, epoxies, networks, and such are polymeric materials, because all of these materials have many ("poly") small repeat units ("mers") covalently bonded together. Polymers have unique physical properties and applications due to their considerable molecular size, numerous conformations and chemical variety. This course focuses on physical and chemical properties and applications of polymers in solution, the crystalline state, the glassy state, and the rubbery state. Class demonstrations and laboratory exercises. This introductory course is intended for a broad cross-section of science and engineering majors including bioengineers, chemical engineers, chemists, mechanical engineers and materials scientists.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction to the quantitative methods used in characterizing and engineering biomolecular properties and cellular behavior, focusing primarily on receptor-mediated phenomena. The thermodynamics and kinetics of protein/ligand binding are covered, with an emphasis on experimental techniques for measuring molecular parameters such as equilibrium affinities, kinetic rate constants, and diffusion coefficients. Approaches for probing and altering these molecular properties of proteins are also described, including site-directed mutagenesis, directed evolution, rational design, and covalent modification. Equilibrium, kinetic, and transport models are used to elucidate the relationships between the aforementioned molecular parameters and cellular processes such as ligand/receptor binding and trafficking, cell adhesion and motility, signal transduction, and gene regulation.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite(s): Background in Biology, Chemistry or Engineering with coursework in thermodynamics or permission of the instructor. From single molecule studies to single cell manipulations, the broad field of cell and molecular biology is becoming increasingly quantitative and increasingly a matter of systems simplification and analysis. The elaboration of various stresses on cellular structures, influences of interaction pathways and convolutions of incessant thermal motions will be discussed via lectures and laboratory demonstration. Topics will range from, but are not limited to, protein folding/forced unfolding to biomolecule associations, cell and membrane mechanics, and cell motility, drawing from very recent examples in the literature. Frequent hands-on exposure to modern methods in the field will be a significant element of the course in the laboratory. Skills in analytical and professional presentations, papers and laboratory work will be developed.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite(s): CBE 231 and CBE 351. Design of reactors for the production of chemical products. Continuous and batch reactors. Chemical kinetics. Effects of back-mixing and non-ideal flow in tubular reactors. Heterogeneous reactions. Construction and economic analysis of reactors.
