-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Course examines engineering as a profession and professional responsibilities of engineers. Case studies are used to distinguish engineering from science and business, and the ethical responsibilities associated with being a professional. Ethical principles are reviewed to explore how engineers should address technology implementation. Simple quantitative decision making concepts, including risk-benefit analysis and optimization methods are introduced to compare technology options on a quantitative basis. We will consider the ethical conflicts between utilitarian (quantitative) theories that engineers favor and duty theories (Kantian ethics).
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Course will survey modeling and solution methods for the transport of fluids, heat and chemical species in response to differences in pressure, temperature and concentration. Both steady state and transient behavior will be examined.Topics include fluid statics; conservation equations for mass, momentum and energy; dimensional analysis; viscous flow at high and low Reynolds number; thermal conduction; convective heat and mass transfer, correlations; diffusion and interphase mass transfer. Working knowledge of calculus, linear algebra and ordinary differential equations is assumed.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
An intensive hands-on practice of engineering. Experimental work in the areas of separations, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, process dynamics and control, materials processing and characterization, chemical reactors. Development of written and oral technical communication skills.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Broad introduction to polymer science and technology, including polymer chemistry (major synthetic routes to polymers), polymer physics (solution and melt behavior, solid-state morphology and properties), and polymer engineering (overview of reaction engineering and melt processing methods).
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course covers major diseases (cancer, diabetes, heart disease, infectious diseases), the physical changes that inflict morbidity and mortality, the design constraints for treatment, and emerging technologies that take into account these physical hurdles. Taking the perspective of the design constraints on the system (that is, the mass transport and biophysical limitations of the human body), we will survey recent results from the fields of drug delivery, gene therapy, tissue engineering, and nanotechnology.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Introduction to chemical reaction engineering and reactor design in chemical and biological processes. Concepts of chemical kinetics for both homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions. Coupled transport and chemical/biological rate processes.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Introduction to chemical process flow-sheeting; process simulation design, sizing and cost estimation of total processes; process economics; introduction to optimization, linear programming, integer programming, and nonlinear programming; heat integration methods, minimum utility cost, minimum number of units, network optimization.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
A complementary presentation of theory, analytical methods, and numerical methods. The objective is to impart a set of capabilities commonly used in the research areas represented in the Department and more broadly in engineering and the physical and biological sciences. Standard computational packages will be made available in the courses, and assignments will be designed to use them. Topics will include Complex variables, PDE, Fourier and Laplace Transforms, and a brief introduction to numerical methods.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Derivation of the laws of thermodynamics starting from postulates based on everyday experience. Application of thermodynamic principles to the solution of practical problems in modern chemical engineering. Microscopic and statistical basis of thermodynamics.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Stoichiometry. Reaction kinetics and mechanisms. Types of chemical reactors. Steady-state and dynamic behavior of reactors. Mixing and non-ideal reactors. Porous catalysts. Stability and multiplicity. Multiphase reactors.
